The covid19 Pandemic has created a surge in need for food. Since March 2020, our food assistance programs have provided more than 100 people in our community with over 10,000 meals! Our Food Pantry is mainly sustained by community donations of food, and we’d like your help so we can meet the growing need.
From September thru December 2020, we are providing a variety of opportunities to fill the pantry. We hope you’ll choose to participate and fill our pantry. You can find what the most urgent items needed on our Wish List.
September- Fill The Pantry, Drive-thru Style!
Bring your non-perishable food donation to our offices in September during our special drive-thru days, and our staff and volunteers will be there to greet you!
When? Wednesdays, 9/23, 4:00pm-6:00pm: Drive by our office and say hi- the entire JFS staff will be there to meet & greet, give out goodies, and take your non-perishable food donation. We’ve missed seeing our community- Come say hi!
Can’t make it on 9/23? Another drive-thru (less staff..) is scheduled for 9/30 from 4-6pm!
Where? JFS offices, 8210 Creedmoor Road, suite 104, Raleigh NC
October- Preschools & Religious School Challenge
During the month of October, look for our collection boxes at the Jewish Preschools and Religious Schools and help us fill the pantry. More information about participating schools coming soon!
November & December- Neighborhood Challenge
During the holiday months, there’s usually an increase in need for food. Help us by organizing a food collection in your own neighborhood! A few suggestions can include:
Leave a flyer in neighbors’ mail boxes and ask food to be dropped off at your porch.
ask neighbors to leave food by their mail boxes and pick up.
Find a drop off area like a neighborhood community center, pool etc. where neighbors can drop off.
Will you be doing a neighborhood food drive? Please let us know so we’ll know what to expect.
We also accept food donations regularly in two other ways:
Find our drop off box outside our offices every Monday between 9am-2pm.
Ship food directly to us from Amazon.
