JFS CARES ABOUT YOU

Our vision is that no one in our community should suffer hunger, isolation, abandonment, emotional or physical distress, or lack of community support and caring.

PANTRY ITEM OF THE MONTH

During November, you can help JFS Community Food Pantry clients by donating feminine hygiene products. Donations can be dropped off at JFS during business hours, in the bins at the JCC and Temple Beth El, or ordered through the JFS Amazon Wish List.

SEASONAL

Have you received a turkey or ham gift, or grocery store certificate you are not planning to use this holiday season? JFS is distributing donated turkey and ham gift certificates to families of the Community Food Pantry. Certificates may be emailed to info@jfslv.org, dropped off or mailed to Jewish Family Service, 2004 W Allen Street, Allentown, PA 18104.
