LOCAL FOOD DRIVE

Reisterstown Road Plaza Donates Space to Host One of the Largest Passover Food Drives in the Region

Tide Realty Capital, a local real estate investment management and advisory firm, announced their partnership to host a Passover Food Drive with Chasdei Lev Baltimore, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting teachers and their families while showing appreciation for their devotion to education. The Food Drive, held at Reisterstown Road Plaza (The Plaza), is one of the largest Passover Food Drives in the region, distributing 200 tons of food and household essentials valued at more than $900,000 to more than 300 families in preparation for the holiday season.

On Sunday, March 23, 2025, the parking lot behind Home Depot at The Plaza transformed into a distribution center for food and household items sourced from 20 different schools and organizations, and distributed through a coordinated effort of Chasdei Lev Baltimore and more than 50 volunteers. Season after season, in collaboration with local schools, manufacturers, and distributors, Chasdei Lev Baltimore supports teachers and their families, providing them with essential resources to celebrate the Passover Holiday with comfort and joy.

“We were thrilled to host Chasdei Lev’s holiday food drive for a second consecutive year. It is becoming a tradition for us and is part of The Plaza’s broader commitment to strengthening community ties and making a meaningful impact beyond retail,” said Aaron Loeb, President of Tide Realty Capital. “The Plaza is a huge resource to the community — we have ample space that we want community members to use for events and gathering spaces, our aim is to help improve the lives of our nearby residents.”

Since 1962, Reisterstown Road Plaza has been a vital cornerstone of the community, not just as a shopping destination, but as a hub for connection, support, and meaningful initiatives. The Plaza’s partnership with Chasdei Lev Baltimore underscores its deep commitment to strengthening the community by supporting causes that directly impact and uplift those it serves. As The Plaza continues to grow and evolve, it remains dedicated to fostering an inclusive, vibrant space where businesses, organizations, and individuals can come together to create positive change.
