Did you know that each month, Jewish Family Services provides more than 800 families with food and non-perishable items through the two locations of its food pantry? Food drives help ensure our guests have a wide variety of items to select from and keep expenses down.

While JFS is happy to accept any shelf-stable food or personal care items, the most needed things for December are crackers, canned chili, cooking oil, peanut butter, and sweet and salty snacks. On Sunday, December 18, 2022, from 10 a.m. to Noon, JFS will hold its monthly community-wide food drive at the Jewish Community Center campus. Please drop off donations with volunteers who will be located in the front circle drive.

Donations can also be dropped off in the JFS barrel in the Jewish Community Campus lobby during business hours or at the Brookside office with an appointment by calling 913-327-8250. Donors may also purchase items for the food pantry directly through the JFS Pantry Wish List on Amazon.
