NOURISH: A Party for the Pantry
NOURISH: A Party for the Pantry benefiting the Harvey Kornblum Jewish Food Pantry took place on September 15, 2024, at The Hall at Olive + Oak in Webster Groves. This lively evening benefited the Harvey Kornblum Jewish Food Pantry and was filled with friends, food, and fun!
NOURISH spotlighted our incredible honorees, Earl Kessler and Al Siwak, the founders of Pallet Partners, who have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars benefiting children, families, and seniors who have experienced food insecurity over the past 25 years.
The date for the next Party for the Pantry to be held in fall of 2026, will be announced soon.
