Ivanka Trump handed out some holiday cheer as she volunteered at the Jewish Community Services (JCS) kosher foodbank in Miami, Florida, on Sunday, DailyMail.com can reveal.
Seen here in pictures obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com, the former – and future -first daughter joined volunteers preparing and distributing food boxes for Hanukkah.
Ivanka, 43, paired a casual outfit of jeans and a black top with a dazzling smile as she packed boxes thoughtfully laden with ingredients geared towards traditional Hanukkah recipes.
Volunteer and community member, Chavi Kunis who was there alongside her said: ‘Ivanka and her family joined us at the JCS Kosher Food Bank, delivering fresh produce from Planet Harvest and recipes for classic Hanukkah dishes.’
Kunis added: ‘Their ongoing support and active involvement reflect the true spirit of the season, bringing nourishment and joy to those in need.’
And Ivanka didn’t just help pack the boxes with the produce that included locally grown onions, potatoes and apples, the President-elect’s glamorous older daughter also sponsored the fresh food through Planet Harvest.
Planet Harvest is a profit-for-purpose organization which aims to help get more fresh fruit and vegetables from America’s farms to its tables by eliminating waste and resolving inefficiencies in the produce supply chain.
Through her involvement with the Planet Harvest, Ivanka’s efforts have reached communities across the country including those in Maui, Hawaii, North Carolina, Florida, Idaho and New York.

Earlier this month, Ivanka took to Instagram to share her own family’s cherished tradition of planting an herb and vegetable garden with a photograph showing the ‘fruits’ of their labors in Miami.
She wrote: ‘It’s always been about more than just growing food. It’s about spending time together with our hands in the dirt, cultivating a connection to the natural world, understanding the importance of healthy soil, and making thoughtful choices that honor both our bodies and this planet.’

According to sources Ivanka has long been a committed and frequent volunteer with JCS alongside her husband Jared Kushner, 43, and their three children – Arabella, 13, Joseph, 10, and Theodore, 8.
The Miami-based organization feeds more than 400 families, 70 Holocaust survivors and 225 children annually. It offers the only foodbank in Miami-Dade County that provides for families who require kosher food.
Ivanka’s appearance came towards the end of what proved to be a festive weekend. She posted pictures of herself out with her ‘favorite girl,’ thirteen-year-old Arabella as the pair attended Miami City Ballet’s The Nutcracker on Monday.
Sharing a picture of them both smiling broadly in front of a snow-dusted Christmas, tree Ivanka wrote: ‘A beautiful evening at the Nutcracker with my favorite girl.’
Arabella wore a simple black dress, while her mother wore a cream silk jacket and pants and a black camisole.
That outing came just days after Ivanka, who kept a far lower profile during Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign than in either of his previous runs, made a rare public appearance alongside him. She stood by her father as he visited the New York Stock Exchange for the ringing of the opening bell last Thursday.

Trump was also joined by his wife Melania, 54, and younger daughter Tiffany, 31, whom he recently revealed is pregnant with her first child by husband of two years, Michael Boulos, 27.
Boulos and Tiffany, Trump’s daughter with his ex-wife Marla Maples, 61, married in a lavish ceremony and celebration at the former President’s Florida home of Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach back in November 2022.
More recently Trump spoke of Boulos in glowing terms when he announced his daughter’s pregnancy at a campaign rally in Detroit in October.
Addressing the crowd, he noted the presence of Tiffany’s father-in-law Dr Massad Boulos and said: ‘He happens to be the father of Tiffany’s husband, Michael, who’s a very exceptional young guy. And she’s an exceptional young woman. And she’s going to have a baby. So that’s nice.’
In addition to the family members who stood on the podium last week to witness the first time Trump has opened stock trading, the president-elect was also surrounded by key friends and peers.
They included Vice President elect J.D. Vance and cabinet nominees and allies Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Scott Bessent, Doug Burgum, Ben Carson, Kelly Loeffler, Pam Bondi, Elise Stefanik and Lee Zeldin.
Speaking to the floor Trump described the moment as, ‘a tremendous honor,’ and noted: ‘I brought some of our co-patriots along with us and they’ll do a beautiful job for you in the next four years.’
