Time to clean out the house for Passover but what to do with all those unopened cans filled with hametz, unopened boxes of pasta and cereals, and whatever else non-perishable item you might find? Well, we have the answer below. And if you can’t find anything to donate, how about filling an extra bag the next time you go grocery shopping? Congregation Beth David and Saratoga Serves is excited to rally in aid of our community and run a food & fund drive to benefit Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties. Most of us know someone who is struggling to make ends meet and we have the opportunity to ensure that no child, family or senior goes hungry.
Through your generosity we can provide hope for the 207,000 people Second Harvest feeds each month. Please join us in this effort to feed our neighbors who, each month, have to decide between paying for rent, utilities, or medicine and providing food for their loved ones.
Where and How? Please bring non-perishable food to:
19700 Prospect Road, Saratoga, CA 95070
Meals in a can (Stew, Chili, and Soup) Peanut Butter
100% Fruit Juices Canned Fruits Canned Vegetables Tuna/Canned Meat
Low-Sugar Cereal Cans with pop top lids
When? We are collecting donations from March 14th to the morning of March 19th.
Why? Nothing else matters when you’re hungry. Give a gift that matters at this critical time. If your cupboards are full, please help others who don’t know where their next meal will come from.

Saratoga Serves: Every year the Faith Communities of Saratoga work together to provide service to our community. We join for two weekends and the week between to sponsor various service projects to support those in need. We share a website (saratogaserves.org) and banners, which we hang in front of our buildings. Saratoga Serves is sponsored by the Saratoga Ministerial Association, which also sponsors a combined worship service every year on Thanksgiving Day. More information about individual projects can be found on our website.Thank you in advance for your participation!
