This past Sunday afternoon, Meshulam and Tova Lisker once again hosted a collection of excess mishloach manos food items from Purim benefitting Tomchei Shabbos of Queens. The drive brought in a number of community members eager to assist families in need. Unopened and packaged nosh, fruit, and beverages bearing a proper rabbinic supervision were collected in multitude as volunteers organized and sorted the massive lot accordingly. Originally, I was a little upset that certain nosh items received in my house were donated, but after considering where the food was going to, I was encouraged that my family, like so many others, rushed at the opportunity to partake in the mitzvah of supporting local struggling families. Mi k'amcha Yisrael.
