What is the minimum donation to participate? To participate in the program, a minimum donation of $40.00 is required. This entitles you to select up to 16 families. The price for more than 16 families is $2.50 per basket, with a cap of $360 for 144 baskets or more.

What Will You Receive? You will receive one Mishloach Manot package. In the week before Purim you will receive by email a list of all the families who have chosen to send you a package.

What Is Reciprocity and How Does It Work? We offer you the opportunity to “reciprocate”. If you participated and checked the reciprocity box, we will add your name to the list of anyone who is sending Mishloach Manot to you, whom you have not selected. You will then be automatically billed for each additional family. Please note that if you choose reciprocity, it will increase the amount of your bill. No calls will be made. In order to maintain our community’s high standard of kindness, consideration and “V’ahavta L’reacha K’mocha”, we recommend checking the reciprocity box to avoid hurting others’ feelings. You may not order Reciprocity only!

What Happens If I Select a Family Who Has Not Chosen to Participate in the Mishloach Manot Campaign? That family will receive a letter, in lieu of a Mishloach Manot basket stating that a donation has been made to Sisterhood in their honor, listing the names of all those families who have selected them.

REMINDER: In order to properly fulfill the mitzvah of Mishloach Manot, according to Halacha, you must also send one package (consisting of at least 2 different types of food items) to at least one family.
