The students of Aventura-Turnberry Jewish Center in Aventura volunteered to stock the shelves of the Kosher Food Bank on Sunday, May 19. Co-chairs for this project were Heather Romeu and Deborah Thaler, parents of ATC children.

This was ATJC’s second visit to the food bank this year. The first took place before Passover when the students collected and gave kosher-for-Passover items to the facility.
