Volunteer: Passover Food Prep & Cooking

The Seder meal is the centerpiece of Passover, but for many, the preparation is an overwhelming hurdle. At MADA, we are transforming fresh ingredients into the warmth of holiday tradition. We need your hands in the kitchen to ensure everyone in our community can taste the spirit of freedom.

There is a powerful, grounding satisfaction in the craft of cooking. As you chop, sauté, and simmer, you are doing more than following a recipe—you are building a safety net. You will see the immediate transformation of raw ingredients into nourishing meals, providing a tangible sense of accomplishment that resonates long after you leave. By contributing your energy to our kitchen, you are sending a direct message of dignity and care to a community member’s table.

Kitchen Shifts:

8:30 AM – 10:30 AM

10:30 AM – 12:30 PM

1:00 PM – 4:00 PM

No professional culinary background is needed—just a willingness to roll up your sleeves and work alongside a team dedicated to feeding the soul of our community.

Volunteer: Passover Food Packing

Passover is a time for connection, but for many families, the weight of food insecurity can turn a season of freedom into one of stress. At MADA, you have the opportunity to change that narrative. By joining our food packing team, you aren't just filling boxes; you are delivering the promise that no one in our community is forgotten.

When you step into the packing center, you become part of a tangible solution. There is a unique, powerful satisfaction in seeing a crate go from empty to full, knowing exactly whose holiday you’ve just transformed. Your presence provides the essential "fuel" for hundreds of local Seders, creating a ripple effect of relief and joy that lasts long after your shift ends.

Join the Packing Team:

Come feel the energy of a community showing up for one another. Your hands make the holiday happen.

Volunteer: Passover Holiday Basket Delivery

Passover is a time when families gather around the Seder table to retell the story of freedom. For many individuals and families in our community, however, preparing for the holiday can be difficult without support.

Through MADA’s Passover Seder Box program, we help ensure that every family has the essential items needed to celebrate the Seder with dignity.

By volunteering as a delivery driver, you become the final link in a chain of kindness. After weeks of preparation and packing, these Seder boxes are ready to reach the families who need them. Your delivery brings not only food, but also warmth, dignity, and the feeling that someone in the community cares.

Each visit is simple but meaningful. A short delivery can help make a family’s Passover possible.

You are welcome to bring a child, grandchild, or family member with you and share this meaningful experience together. It is a beautiful opportunity to teach the next generation about the spirit of chesed and community.

Join the Delivery Team

Drivers will pick up Seder boxes and deliver them to designated addresses in the community.

9am - 4pm

Drivers must have a personal vehicle.

Come be part of this important mitzvah and help bring the spirit of Passover to homes across our city.
