The Yomim Tovim Are Coming, How Will Crown Heights Families Afford Food?

The Yomim Tovim are quickly approaching, and many families in Crown Heights are struggling to afford food.

The cost of food has been rising steadily in recent months, and the Yomim Tovim are a time when families typically spend more on food than usual. This year, many families are finding it difficult to make ends meet.

"The cost of food has gone up so much, and I don't know how I'm going to be able to afford to feed my family during the Yomim Tovim," said one Crown Heights mother.

The Crown Heights community is home to a large number of low-income families. Many of these families rely on food pantries and other social services to help them make ends meet.

But during the Yomim Tovim, the demand for food assistance increases significantly. Food pantries are often overwhelmed, and many families are unable to get the help they need.

This year, the Crown Heights community is coming together to help families in need. Several organizations are hosting food drives and fundraisers to help families afford food during the Yomim Tovim.

Here are some ways you can help:

• Donate food to a local food pantry.
• Volunteer your time at a food pantry or soup kitchen.
• Donate money to an organization that is helping families in need.
• Spread the word about the need for food assistance in Crown Heights.

Together, we can help ensure that all Crown Heights families have enough food to celebrate the Yomim Tovim.
