JFS Fill The Pantry Challenge


Fill the Pantry Sept thru Dec 2020.jpg

The covid19 Pandemic has created a surge in need for food. Since March 2020, our food assistance programs have provided more than 100 people in our community with over 10,000 meals! Our Food Pantry is mainly sustained by community donations of food, and we’d like your help so we can meet the growing need.

From September thru December 2020, we are providing a variety of opportunities to fill the pantry. We hope you’ll choose to participate and fill our pantry. You can find what the most urgent items needed on our Wish List.

NOVEMBER & DECEMBER- FOOD DRIVE CHALLENGE

During the holiday months, there’s usually an increase in need for food. Help us by organizing a food collection! A few suggestions can include:

  • Leave a flyer in neighbors’ mail boxes and ask food to be dropped off at your porch.

  • ask neighbors to leave food by their mail boxes and pick up.

  • Find a drop off area like a neighborhood community center, pool etc. where neighbors can drop off.

Check out our Tips for running a successful food drive.

Will you be doing a neighborhood food drive? Please let us know so we’ll know what to expect.

WE ALSO ACCEPT FOOD DONATIONS REGULARLY IN TWO OTHER WAYS:

  • Find our drop off box outside our offices every Monday between 9am-2pm.

  • Ship food directly to us from Amazon.
