My understanding is that it is heavily subsidized.
$60 for cholent and kugel for 10 people?!
That's not subsidized!

A 9x13 of each cholent and kugel would total $55 bucks at glatt bite. So seems very profitable. Definitely not subsidized.

It is indeed non profit. I believe it is being run in conjunction with Bikur Cholim.

Well then maybe they are a non profit but making a profit for other parts of the org.

The program is not making a profit. It is simply a chessed.

How? If I where doing this I'd be running a huge profit!

They charge for delivery,
A 9x13 of each cholent and kugel would total $55 bucks at glatt bite. So seems very profitable. Definitely not subsidized.
And a 9x13 cholent and kugel cost is probably around $10 -$15 with their overhead rolled in with bikur cholims kitchen and probably volunteers helping.
$60 for cholent and kugel for 10 people?!

Seems like Harold Herskowitz is running for Committee again. Coles and D'elia are up for reelection this year. Raitzik is running as a Republican as well (alongside D'elia). I didn't yet see any reports on a Coles' running mate.

This is from a comment on Hefkervelt:

Statement from Harold Herskowitz.

I hope everyone is safe and healthy at home. I have decided to run in the Republican primary at the last minute and unfortunately I decided to run after the need for everyone to stay home and not interact with one another. In order to run I need a petition with signatures to be on the ballot. If you could please take a moment and sign the petition electronically for the primary on June 7th. I know that things look bleak right now but I decided that when this is all over it will be even more important that our township should be run for the benefit of all of us and not a select few. I am looking toward the future and I hope you will join me. Thank you for your support. And please be careful and safe.

Okay. Either way, individual portions are always much more expensive. Yapchik is $10 for cholent, kugel, and a slice of kisha. . And most takeouts are the same price.
There's much more involved in preparing individual portions.

There is only much more involved if you are making them to order. If you a portioning them but cooking and serving 100s at once it's a difference but not THAT much.
And are they individually portioning them? It sounds more like only bulk ten people option
I'm not who you think I am.
