JFS Expands Food Pantry, Adding Refrigerated & Frozen Offerings

To continue to help combat hunger in the community, JFS is expanding its on-site Food Pantry based in Margate. For the past several years, an average of 2,000 people would utilize the pantry annually. Since the onset of the pandemic in March 2020, the JFS Pantry has distributed in excess of 50,000 pounds of food to more than 7,300 people throughout the county and the need for assistance continues to rise.

JFS Friends Campaign: Residents Need Your Support

As JFS continues to meet the ever-growing needs of the community, we rely on donations from you, our Friends, to assure we can assist everyone who walks through our agency doors. We hope to be able to count on you for your support for JFS to achieve its $35,000 annual Friends fundraising goal.
