    Up to 1,500 families were expected to line up Thursday at Masbia’s kosher soup kitchens for a grocery bag.

    Rapaport said volunteers would “make sure that everyone gets at least something.”

    He said donations are used to purchase beans, rice, peanut butter, flour, carrots and other staples.
