HOW TO DONATE FOOD

In today’s economic climate, more people than ever before are facing food insecurity. JFCS is here to help community members who are struggling to put healthy food on the table. We rely on community donations to stock the shelves of our Betsy & Peter Fischer Food Pantry. When donating food, please consider the “most needed items” below and be sure to check for the kosher symbols on the packaging.
