Masbia Sends Hanukkah Parties Home to Single-Mother Families

New York, NY – The Masbia Soup Kitchen Network has begun distributing complete Hanukkah Party Packages to single mothers and their children throughout the city, marking a new approach to one of Masbia’s most meaningful annual traditions.

With the number of single-mother families seeking assistance growing significantly this year, Masbia planned from the outset to shift the celebration from an in-person gathering to a fully packaged Hanukkah party delivered directly to each home via DoorDash. The new model ensures that every family receives the full experience – food, gifts, treats, and festive décor – without the limitations of physical space.

Even as snow fell across the city, Masbia staff arrived early to prepare the hundreds of components that make this effort possible. The kitchen team cooked special Hanukkah dishes, while other staff packed gifts, tchotchkes, and themed party goods such as tablecloths, plates, cups, cutlery, and decorations. Additional teams assembled bags of fresh produce and holiday groceries, including latkes, rolls, chocolate-gelt and dreidel cookies.

“Every family deserves a joyful Hanukkah celebration,” said Alexander Rapaport, Executive Director of Masbia Soup Kitchen Network. “With so many single mothers turning to us for help, we wanted to make sure every home could feel the warmth, beauty, and dignity of the holiday. Instead of bringing everyone to one party, we’re sending the party to everyone.”

The new Hanukkah Party Package initiative allows each household to enjoy the celebration at home, at their own pace, and with everything they need for a beautiful holiday experience. “Special Thanks to Eric and Karen Miller who have been the main sponsors every year In bringing joy to the single mothers during Chanukah”. rapaport added

Masbia is asking the community to help support this expanded effort. Donations will allow the organization to provide complete Hanukkah Party Packages to every single-mother family on its list.
