It is a long standing Jewish tradition to share a celebration with those is need. Masbia offers many ways to share a personal occasion such as a Wedding, Bar/Bat Mitzvah, or Shiva with the hungry at Masbia. You can choose to host an event at Masbia, or donate on behalf of your guests, or offer your guests a "In Lieu of Gift" option to donate themselves. Masbia is happy to accomodate individual needs and ideas for your personal occasion. Please contact [email protected] to inquire.

Example:

"In Lieu of Gifts"

Thank you for sharing this joyous occasion with us.

In keeping with a longstanding Jewish tradition, we decided to share our moment of joy with those less fortunate, by sponsoring ____ number of meals (at $6 a meal) at Masbia soup kitchen in honor of our celebration. Together with you and all our guests we hope to raise that number and make a difference in the lives of many hungry people. We are requesting that, instead of giving us a gift, you consider sponsoring meals at Masbia by filling out the inside panel.

Masbia (“satiate” in Hebrew), a non-profit soup kitchen network, provides nourishing meals to hungry men, women and children with dignity and respect.
