Ottawa Students Provide Food to the Homeless

Members of the Rohr Chabad Student Network of Ottawa partnered with a local chapter of the historically Jewish fraternity Alpha Epsilon Pi to deliver about 150 hot dogs and peanut butter sandwiches to the homeless.

Last week’s initiative drew the support of 15 participants from the University of Ottawa, Carleton University and Algonquin College, according to a report in Shalom Life. Shortly after arriving at a local shelter, they ran out of food and headed back to the center run by Chabad-Lubavitch Rabbi Chaim Boyarsky to prepare more food.

Boyarsky told the paper that his organization’s weekly events help combat apathy among the university set “by doing whatever it takes to bring people back in the fold to care for Jewishness and for giving to charity.”
