Gift cards for Philly

On November 8, 2026, a group held a “boycott ride” aimed at six Jewish-owned restaurants near Rittenhouse Square. You can answer it from anywhere: buy a gift card from these restaurants, then pass it to the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia to help people in need.

How it works

Buy a card from any restaurant below. $25 or $50 is a practical amount.
Send it to the Federation’s Mitzvah Food Program. The Federation has said: “If you would like to purchase a gift card and donate it to local families in need, gift cards can be sent to the Jewish Federation’s Mitzvah Food Program.” Mail a physical card to:
Mitzvah Food Program, Attn: Phil Holtje
345 Montgomery Ave
Bala Cynwyd, PA 19004

Questions, or want to send an e-gift card by email? Contact the program first: mitzvahfoodprogram@jewishphilly.org or 215-832-0815.

Please read: This is an independent, volunteer-made page. It is not run or endorsed by the Federation or the restaurants. The Federation’s Mitzvah Food Program publicly asks for grocery cards (ShopRite, Acme, Giant). The Federation says gift cards can be sent to the program, but its published details only mention grocery cards, so please confirm before sending a restaurant card. If they can’t use them, the same cards still directly support the targeted businesses. You could also give the card to a local Philadelphia friend or a synagogue food program instead.

Each restaurant is a separate purchase. Links go to the restaurants’ own gift card pages. Confirm the page and amounts before paying, since I can’t check them for you in real time.
