About Us

Challah for Hunger (CfH) raises awareness of and money for hunger and disaster relief through the production and sale of challah bread.  

Chapter volunteers gather on a regular basis to make challah--often from scratch--which they in  turn sell to their communities. The chapters produce challah in a variety of flavors: plain; chocolate chip; peanut butter and chocolate chip; parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme; cinnamon sugar; and many more. Fifty percent of each chapter's profits are donated to the national CfH cause--the American Jewish World Service's Sudan Relief and Advocacy Fund.  The remaining fifty percent may be donated to an organization chosen by the chapter. 
 
A team of student volunteers leads each chapter. For all the volunteers and many of the customers, Challah for Hunger provides opportunities to be involved in a fun and dedicated community, to address humanitarian problems, to develop and practice new skills--like baking and marketing, to become involved in advocacy and other forms of activism, and more. 

Challah for Hunger empowers young people all over the country--our future community and business leaders--who are aware of and sensitive to suffering, and committed to relieving that suffering and changing the systems responsible for such conditions, through the integration of business and social justice practices. Challah for Hunger is committed to community and individuals, and making a difference as a community and as individuals; professionalism, including delicious challah; respect and dignity; and providing the opportunity to those who seek it to have a positive Jewish experience, while remaining an open and comfortable community to those who are not necessarily seeking such experiences.

Challah for Hunger is a 501(c)(3) non-profit.
