Jewish Family Service Agency

Who Can Visit?

JFSA welcomes people of all backgrounds to its food pantry. You don't have to be Jewish to receive help. The agency serves people regardless of religion, race, age, disability, sexual orientation, or national origin. If you or your family are facing a tough time and need food support, you're welcome here.

Food & Essentials

The food pantry provides a wide variety of items to help keep your household fed. Deliveries and distributions include fruits and vegetables, protein items, meat, canned goods, and prepared foods like sandwiches. You can also expect some surprises like sweets. The selection changes each time, so there's always something different to look forward to.

How to Pick Up

JFSA runs a Pop-Up Market where volunteers set up, pack, and distribute fresh produce and pantry staples at different locations in the community. You can check the JFSA Food Pantry Pop-Up Market Calendar for upcoming dates and locations.
