It’s simple to hold a food drive in your school, church/synagogue, or neighborhood. Blue reusable tote bags or JFS collection barrels can be provided for participants to fill with nonperishable food items. Bags should include the flyer below that lists the most needed food items for our Weinberg Food Pantry. 

You may volunteer to sort and pack food, help clients select items, and assist with several other important tasks in the food pantry. To learn about the commitment, requirements, and to sign up, visit jewishfamilyservice.org/volunteer/weinberg-food-pantry-volunteers. 

Collect donations for the Food Pantry and volunteer your time.
