Jewish Family & Children Service has told us their greatest need is the following: feminine care products, Lysol, disinfectant wipes, toilet paper and paper towels. They also need many non-perishable foods such as canned soup, cereal, granola bars, peanut butter, etc.
Drop-off is THIS Friday, April 3 (three options):
- Drive your donations to the JFCS Family Assistance Center at 1309 West Route 70 in Cherry Hill (across from the Locustwood Cemetery). They are accepting donations from 10:00-12:00 pm. Just pull up and a volunteer will remove your donations from the car.
- Drive your donations to the M’kor Shalom parking lot. Kim Coffina will be there from 10:30-11:00 am. Just pull up and Kim will remove the donations from your car. You do not need to get out of your car. If you are not there by 11:00 am, you can use Option 1.
- If you are unable to leave your home, please email Kim Coffina to arrange private pick up at your home.
