The Great Big Jewish Food Fest was born from a recognition that food industry professionals and small businesses are struggling in our current crisis, many people are facing food insecurity, and as a community we need to come together to support them. We asked, how might we use the talents of our Jewish food community in new ways to make a difference? 

Together, we have raised over $150,000 to support restaurants and food businesses, their employees and those experiencing hunger due to COVID-19.

Beneficiary partners include:

• Jewish Food Society’s Feed the healthcare heroes on NYC’s front line, which buys meals from many of our favorite Jewish restaurants and delivers meals the healthcare workers.

• James Beard Foundation’s Open For Good, a campaign to support the recovery and rebuilding of an independent restaurant industry that is stronger than ever.  

• JDC’s Fund to Provide Aid to Vulnerable Jews, providing food and care for 40,000 of the world’s poorest elderly Jews and children.

• MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger’s COVID-19 Response Fund which helps anti-hunger movement leaders respond quickly to pressing issues that will disproportionately impact the lives of food insecure people.  

• Repair the World's Spring into Solidarity Campaign for Food Justice to support partner organizations, such as shelters and food banks, on the front lines of COVID-19 relief efforts in cities across the United States.
