Anyone heard of them? My kids saw their brochure before Purim, and collected money for them. Yeah, I know it’s a tiny bit past purim lol. I’m trying to find their contact info, but no luck.

Also, are they legit? They have zero online presence. Any info would be so appreciated!!

Hi I know it's a year after your post. I just got the flyer from my kids, but at one point we lost it so I was looking it up on google like you did & found this article among the searches. Then we found the cook. the number to call is (929) 999-1070 (between 4:30-7:30 EST) & the email is myPurimproject@gmail.com . we found this booklet in our local shul, perhaps you can contact them for a new one. Hatzlocha!

I had the same question last year. Couldn’t find any info about the organization online, and didn’t bother trying to find any info this year.

The info you posted doesn’t really help. What’s their tax id? Why aren’t they listed on Guidestar? What do they do? What is their mission?

My boys are also anxiously awaiting their prizes. I emailed the organization twice but didn't get a response. If anyone has more information, please post, as my son asks me about it multiple times a day.

Me too! We went down to the truck and they had run out of most of the prizes. They took the money and form and said it would be mailed.. my kids are waiting and waiting. I hope this wasn’t a scam!

Hi,

I emailed mishkanyosefpickup@gmail.com and got an instant reply. Prizes in my sons hand less than an hour later. BH.

This was before Pesach , so I don’t know what’s doing now...but worth a try.

Good luck!

My son is still waiting for his prize but I did get responses when emailing and even spoke to them. Not that it helped. He wanted a travel paperback set of Shas. I priced it at a local Judaica store and asked Mishkon Yosef if they could give him a gift card to the Judaica store for that value instead. They said no since they get it wholesale. Hopefully he'll get his prize soon.

Really disappointing. They reassured the boys in the brochure that they were very well stocked, yet DS says that most boys were turned away at the truck.

I sent them an email now, will keep all posted.

I am so happy for your son that he got what he worked hard for.
We dropped off the money and form on 45th st in BP after Purim! We went there and they told us to send an email to mypurimproject@gmail, so we sent and then again, and a third time!

My son is also still waiting...

I emailed them a few times, and only once got a response, that they're working on it and will send prize as fast as possible. That was before pesach.

Am I understanding this correctly?
Kids are utilized to collect for an organization that doesn't disclose its function and doesn't show accountability to commitments.

I believe it’s an organization that provides for sick children.
My son received his prize. We were given a shul address to go to before pesach and they were distributing prizes there.
There is a hotline for kids to call to find out how to claim their prizes. I think it was a 929 number. I know one of the families involved with this organization and they are sincere, honest people.

Not only this organization my son collected for a different one also very disappointing for the kids
