The X-BOX Challenge is designed to introduce families to the concept of the mitzvah (commandment) and enable them to work together and serve the community simultaneously. The program begins with an introduction to the Brighton Food Cupboard and the need for food in our community. In the center of the room, there will be 10 identical boxes with the letter X on top of each. Inside the boxes will be one item that the Brighton Food Cupboard needs to stock, for example, spaghetti, toilet paper, paper towels, tuna fish, etc. Each family will choose one box and strategize together how to collect as much of that item as they can over a two month period.

Families will compete with one another and  track their progress as the challenge unfolds. The winning family will be the one that, working together, collects the most of their item. This family will receive a real X-BOX to donate to a worthy organization of their choice and the coveted title of X-BOX winner.
