Details:
Since its inception in February 2013, the Challah for Hunger chapter at
Elon University has donated its proceeds to charities and nonprofit
organizations.

Challah is amazing and I wanted to learn how to make it! said Jamie
Fleishman, a first year student at Elon University.

All students, no matter if they identify as Jewish or not, can participate

in the baking and the selling/buying of challot. The organization opens
its doors to help promote an interfaith community working toward a
cause.

Judaism has a word, tikkun olam, which means repairing the world,
third-year student Morgan Goldstein said. We believe that it is our
responsibility to give back and by making challah we can do that.

Elon Universitys Challah for Hunger has been baking and selling in the
fall and spring semester. In the 2013-2014 academic year, the chapter
raised nearly $1,800 in donations that went to places like Duke

Childrens Hospital Miracle Network, the American Cancer Society, the

American Jewish World Service Sudanese Relief, The Village Project,
Allied Churches, Family Abuse Services of Alamance County and
Alamance County Meals on Wheels.
