Purim is quickly approaching! While everyone is still obligated to send one basket (containing two types of food) to one person on Purim day itself, many Jewish organizations rely upon mishloach manos as a major fundraiser. And so, while the following post may be too late to put into action for this Purim, we encourage you to make a note of this information so that you can refer to it next year.
There are many communities that turn to members to volunteer time in the evening or on a Sunday to package the mishloach manos for the school, shul or kollel. For a slew of reasons, you may not be able to rely on people to come in, oversee this operation, and make sure that everything gets beautifully packaged and delivered without a glitch And so, you are looking for an easy and streamlined website that will just “take care of all of the ordering and packaging for you!”
