As part of its effort to serve the community, the Boro Park Jewish Community Council (BPJCC) distributed over 2000 cases of grape juice for Pesach distribution. The grape juice, obtained through the efforts of the Met Council on Jewish Poverty, was in addition to the close to $100,000 in food vouchers that had been previously distributed.

Joining JCC in assisting were a host of elected officials including Public Advocate Letitia James, Brooklyn Boro President Eric Adams, Congressman Jerrold Nadler, Senator Simcha Felder, Assemblyman Dov Hikind, and Councilmembers David Greenfield, Brad Lander and Carlos Menchaca.

BPJCC, an affiliate of Met Council, was founded to serve Boro Park and surrounding areas with all their social service needs, including Medicaid and Health Insurance enrollment, food stamp enrollment, employment services, crisis assistance, immigration, and services to seniors and holocaust survivors.
