Thank you to the generous donation of Harry and Gail Himmelstein in honor of JFS’s 120th anniversary to support the organization’s older adult services!
Spread the Love this February
Join JFS all February for our spreadables drive and “spread the love” to our neighbors! Help us collect over 2,500 jars of peanut butter, jelly, condiments, and more tasty spreadables for our pantries by participating in our curbside food drive on February 19th or hosting your own. It's easy for individuals, businesses, organizations, schools, youth groups, and neighborhoods to get involved, and your participation supports the over 800 hundred families we serve from our pantries each month!
