How You Can Get Help – And Give Help – This Fall

Since November 1, more than 130,000 South Jersey residents have lost SNAP benefits, leaving many struggling to afford groceries. At JFCS, our Betsy & Peter Fischer Food Pantry has seen a 35% surge in demand, now serving over 155 families each week. Together with the Jewish Federation of Southern New Jersey, the Jewish Community Foundation, and caring friends like you, we can fill empty plates and bring hope to families across our community.

Need Food Support? We know this is a stressful time for many of our South Jersey community members, and we want you to know that you’re not alone. We are proud to nourish individuals of every age. faith, and background. If you are a resident of Camden, Burlington, or Gloucester counties and are in need of food assistance, reach out to us at (856) 424-1333 or faphelp@jfedsnj.org.

Double Your Impact to Feed Local Families!

Two generous local couples, Rhona & Sander Cohen and Betsy & Peter Fischer, are collectively challenging our community to join them in supporting families struggling with hunger. If we can raise $10,000 by November 30, they will match those contributions dollar-for-dollar with another $10,000 — doubling the impact. Every gift counts. Together, we can meet this challenge and ensure no neighbor goes hungry. GIVE NOW to help unlock the match!
