Who will feed my family?                                            Where will I get matzoh                                         and wine to fullfill the                                              basic mitzvos of Pesach?

These are the anguished cries heard throughout Brooklyn and our surrounding communities.

Cries of despair and distress-from the unemployed, elderly, the single parents, singles, from the disabled, and from recent immigrants.

Bnai Raphael’s mission is to feed the      hungry. No one is ever turned away.

What We Do for the Community:

. Operate a food pantry in Brooklyn, providing free food distribution to more than 2000 families weekly

. Weekly “free food distributions” to dozens of locations in the tri-state area every Sunday (Lakewood, Monsey, Staten Island, Boro Park…..)

. In addition, Bnai Raphael provided more than 3000 families last year with Pesach food items

. Distributed more than 4 million pounds of food last year

The Need is even greater this year. The current economy has left people in crisis. Welcome to our 1st Annual Chinese Auction. A group of dedicated volunteers have gotten together to present you with an evening of sensational entertainment, great Chinese Auction prizes and delicious food.                                                                                Before you sit down to your seder this year to celebrate the “Yom Tov of freedom”, kindly remember and support the less fortunate.                                                                        We hope to see you on March 6, 2010. If you are unable to attend, please donate generously to Bnai Raphael. All contributions will ensure that families will not go hungry in these trying times.                                                                                                              Bnai Raphael is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit corporation. All proceeds for this event will be going to it’s Maos Chitim Campagin.

Thank You and Tizku L'Mitzvos
