Support the 2025 High Holy Days Hunger Relief Drive

September 22-October 11, 2025

This year’s High Holy Days Hunger relief drive arrives at a particularly vulnerable time, as local hunger organizations report increased needs due to federal funding cuts. Nearly one in six north Texans are food insecure, according to the North Texas Food Bank.
