A Hampstead Garden Suburb Synagogue barmitzvah boy has made a Covid era contribution by asking family and friends to donate food and household goods to a food bank initiative in lieu of presents.

Accompanied by family members, Adam Hoff delivered a large collection of bags to Ringcross Food Bank in Holloway, where he was welcomed by volunteers with an Arsenal-themed thank you.

The donation was arranged through Food Bank Aid: North London, set up in April by Highgate resident and HGSS congregant Naomi Russell.

Shul members donated their chametz at Pesach and in the month since its inception, it has donated more than 3,000 bags of food, household products and toiletries to 12 food banks across North London.
