Chabad on Campus of the St. Louis Region is offering free kosher for passover food to college students all over Missouri and parts of Illinois.
The program, “Passover to Go,” will offer packages of Matzah, grape juice, and other food stuffs to students so that they can have food to hold their own seders.
It’s an attempt to enable more students to observe Passover, said Rabbi Hershey Novack, director of Chabad on Campus, who added, “We will work to ensure that every single Jewish student has the provisions they need to celebrate the Passover holiday.”
“It is a Passover holiday tradition to invite all who are hungry to come and eat,” Novack noted.
In the past, the program has served students at Southeast Missouri State University, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Truman State University, and University of Missouri in Rolla. This year, it will continue to serve these universities in addition to any university in Missouri or Southern Illinois without an organized Jewish community.
