Thank you to everyone who will be joining us at our One Community Gala on Sunday, June 11, 2023, at B'nai Tikvah in North Brunswick. The night kicks off with a fabulous cocktail hour where you can enjoy lavish hors d’oeuvres, mingle with old and new friends and bid on silent auction items ahead of dinner and dancing.

During the evening, we hope to raise awareness and support for some of our most critical programs and services:

• Kosher Meals on Wheels - donating $750 will feed 15 homebound seniors for 1 week
• Immigration & Citizenship - a $495 donation will cover 1 employment authorization application
• Food Pantries - with a $250 donation, you will feed 2 families for 1 month

Summer means increased demand for food for families who normally rely on free school meals for their school-age children. At JFS Kosher Food Pantries, we provide nutritious food to help ease the burden on families struggling to stretch their food budgets with more meals needed during the summer months. 

For Mrs. A, who currently cares for her daughter and her grandchildren, the struggle to buy enough food for the household is felt every day, but more so during the summer months. "I appreciate the food here because every little bit helps my family. I never thought I would need this type of help but I come here for my grandchildren. I want to make sure they're okay....I appreciate JFS because everyone is friendly and I don't feel judged for not being able to feed my own."

Our Kosher Food Pantries help fill the gaps during times of food insecurity for all Middlesex County residents regardless of background. You can help us fuel change by joining us in fundraising or donating non-perishable food items such as canned vegetables, fruits, proteins, grains, pasta, rice, and breakfast cereals. Your generosity directly impacts the lives of struggling families, ensuring they have access to nutritious meals. For more information, click here. 

Please drop off nonperishable items at our North Brunswick Pantry located at 219C Blackhorse Lane, between 9 am and 5 pm, Monday through Thursday, or contact us to arrange a special drop-off. If you have any questions, reach out to our team at office@jfsmiddlesex.org or 732-777-1940. To make a donation online, visit our website.

 

Together, we can help ease food insecurity in our community. Thank you for help and support, we are truly grateful.
