JFS Kosher Food Pantries Are Here To Help

Many families continue to experience food insecurity and financial hardship post-COVID -- JFS’ Kosher Food Pantries are here to help!

Meet Mrs. E (on right), who started visiting JFS Kosher Food Pantry during the pandemic as a way to put food on her family's table. On a recent visit, Mrs. E reflected on her experience with JFS and noted, "JFS staff pays attention to the little details" that ensure her children are able to receive the right diapers and food items to meet their diet. JFS Pantry staff are committed to creating a positive experience for all visitors. Mrs. E declared, "We would not change a single thing, we like everything here!"

On average, JFS Kosher Food Pantries distribute 400 food bags per month, which supports over 2,000 families across Middlesex County per year -- and that number is growing! Please help keep our shelves stocked by organizing a food drive or making a much-needed donation. If you know someone who would benefit from this service, share our flyer. Contact us for more information, 732-777-1940 or office@jfsmiddlesex.org. Thank you!
