Photos: Thousands of Families Take Part in Moadim L’Simcha Yom Tov Food Distribution – A Massive Success and Kiddush Hashem

[Photos below.] Yesterday, the Moadim L’Simcha Yom Tov food distribution took place in Lakewood, NJ. It was an amazing and inspiring scene as thousands of families took advantage of this wonderful effort designed to assist rabbeim, large families and others in advance of the upcoming Yom Tov of Pesach by providing food necessities at cost price.

Moadim L’Simcha, a project of Tomchei Shabbos of Lakewood, set up their operation in the parking lot of the Blue Claws Stadium, at Cedar Bridge and New Hampshire Avenues, and cars pulled up between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m. After signing in and receiving a list of the products they had previously ordered over the phone, the families went from section to section to receive their items, such as matzoh, grape juice, chicken, eggs, paper goods and much more.

A cadre of volunteers ensured that the distribution went smoothly.

“I have no words to express my hakoras hatov,” one participant told Matzav.com. “All I can say is that this was one giant kiddush Hashem. Moadim L’Simcha ensures that families like mine can celebrate Yom Tov affordably.”

“From the fabulous automated call-in system to the organized pick-up, this Yom Tov‘s project was just something outstanding,” the participant said. “I thank all my fellow choshuveh Lakewooders who gave of themselves to make this happen. Mi ke’amcha Yisroel. What a special town I merit to live in.”
