JFS Passover Holiday Project

This year Jewish Family Services and Yachad Kosher Pantry are working together to lend a hand to families struggling to celebrate Passover. So far this year, demand for these packages has increased tremendously.

Thanks to a generous donation from the Avrum and Clara Feinstein Memorial Mazon Fund, JFS is giving more food than ever, the goal being to give each family food for the entire week, as well as Passover Seder.
