Woodfield residents step up to help fight hunger

Residents of Woodfield Country Club and Woodfield Hunt Club recently joined forces to help local families in crisis. The "Woodfield Feeds the Hungry" initiative was led by volunteers from the Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County, and they raised $9,000 in food and monetary donations during May.
“As unbelievable as it may sound, there are many people in our Boca-Delray Jewish community who are going hungry. The donations went to the Forster Family Kosher Food Pantry, a program of Ruth Rales Jewish Family Service that is helping more families than ever before,” said project co-chairwoman Susan Rahn.
Several of Woodfield’s younger residents also joined the project and raised funds by canvassing neighborhoods and setting up lemonade stands. For more information or to assist, e-mail jessicar@bocafed.org or call 561-852-3109.
