Urgent Need for Food Pantry Volunteers!
The need for JFS Specialty Food pantry services (including groceries and meals) is as high as ever, but many volunteers are needing to switch their focus to preparing and guiding children through what is sure to be an unusual start to the school year.

JFS is seeking volunteers to assist with contactless operations at the pantry by delivering food to people in the community, using your own vehicle. Volunteers should be able to lift up to 25 pounds. Volunteers may bring their children—ages 14 and older—to assist, if desired.
