Down Under
Welcome to the newest chapter in the CfH family - Challah For Hunger Down Under! We had our first bake-off and sale on August 26/27, and it was an unbelievable success that totally exceeded our expectations! We baked over 300 challot in 4 flavours (plain, choc-chip, cinnamon-sugar and wholemeal/vegan) and we were completely sold out within a few hours. The challot were sold on the 4 biggest university campuses in Sydney - University of Sydney (USYD), University of New South Wales (UNSW), University of Technology Sydney (UTS) and Macquarie University (UMac) - and at the biggest Jewish day school in Sydney, Moriah College. We raised $660 and engaged both Jewish and non-Jewish students about Darfur and hunger in Sydney. If you'd like to get involved, please email sydney@challahforhunger.org or call Benji Holzman on 0405 454 262.
Details of our next sale day to come.
As all ingredients have been generously donated by Our Big Kitchen (www.obk.org.au) and the Australasian Union of Jewish Students (AUJS), 100% of the money we raise goes directly to the two charities we support. 50% goes to the AJWS Sudan Relief and Advocacy Fund, while the other 50% goes to Oz Harvest, a local hunger relief organisation that collects meals from restaurants, caterers and businesses and distributes them to soup kitchens around Sydney (www.ozharvest.org.au).
