The Mobile Food & Hygiene Pantry continues to provide fresh, frozen and shelf-stable food, as well as hygiene products, straight to communities in low-access areas. A mobile food pantry gives JFS a unique opportunity to meet people where they are, rather than requiring them to come to our offices.

Our Pantry Delivery program continues to make a meaningful difference in the lives of older adults in our community. Through the program, adults age 60 and older who are homebound receive nutritious food, with each delivery providing approximately 20 meals. Today, we are proud to serve 100 clients through this program. 

JFS Best Buddies Chapter is very busy making matches for our buddies with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Now in our 3^rd year, we have a deeper understanding of how important a strong, compatible match is for both our buddies and peer buddies.

The Community Table Lunch program is excited to welcome the summer season with a fresh new menu and new faces joining us at the Denver JCC. As the weather warms up, we look forward to gathering together over delicious summer-inspired meals, including kosher-style brats, classic barbecue favorites, and other seasonal dishes that bring folks together around the table. 

The para-chaplain program in the Denver area currently consists of 15 volunteer para-chaplains who reach hundreds of Jewish older adults across 14 residential facilities. Para-chaplains lead Shabbat and holiday services and meet one-on-one with residents.
