High Holiday Food Drive
Our annual High Holiday Food Drive is approaching! The demand for food has increased by 40% over the last year. Please know that all contributions – in kind or financial – are greatly appreciated. We are able to stretch dollars further by purchasing food from Dare to Care; however, in-kind donations provide much-needed variety to our shelves.
Drop off in-kind donations at your synagogue during the high holidays or drop off donations at JFCS on Sunday, October 5th from 1-3 p.m. We welcome any non-expired, regular-sized, non-perishable food items as well as personal care and cleaning supplies.
