Volunteers fulfilled pickup orders for the 28th New Hampshire Jewish Food Festival at Temple B'nai Israel in Laconia on Friday and Saturday. With 268 preorders, and onsite orders resulting in an additional $1,500, the event grossed over $20,000 for the temple. This was the first year the temple decided to do onsite food purchases of any leftover food that wasn't pre-ordered ahead of time.
