Make a Difference This Passover

Help us brighten the holiday for 225 families in greater Kansas City by making a financial contribution to our Food Pantry or donating the following kosher-for-Passover foods:

Items can be donated from now through March 29 at participating Congregations or dropped off in designated JFS Food Pantry barrels in the lobby of the Jewish Community Campus or outside the JFS Brookside location during regular business hours.

We’re also seeking volunteers to deliver Passover meals on Tuesday, April 4. Learn more and sign up here
