WE INVITE YOU TO SPONSOR OUR EVENT
where community members of all faiths will come together to enjoy another fun-filled day of great food and activities for all ages

Our mission is to provide programs that impact and strengthen the community through a deeper appreciation of Jewish culture. Deli Fest is always well attended. With an increasing population in the area, families are moving in for new job opportunities and in many cases to be closer to their children and grandchildren. We provide an excellent marketing opportunity for your business and encourage you to set up a table, provide promotional materials and meet new potential customers.
