For the 13th year, Alan Shawn Feinstein will make a major contribution to fight hunger by dividing $1 million among hunger-fighting agencies nationwide that help alleviate hunger, including Jewish Family & Career Services.
Each agency gets a percentage of his $1 million that reflects its percentage of the total money raised by all participating agencies now through April 30.
All donations to the JFCS Food Pantry during this period, including canned goods, grocery gift cards and money will be matched as part of the Feinstein Challenge to Fight Hunger.
Many families and individuals use the JFCS Food Pantry throughout the year, allowing them to utilize very limited resources to pay for other items while JFCS helps with the basic food needs. In additions to non-perishable items, JFCS can give grocery gift certificates, allowing families to purchase milk, fresh items and meat.
Food donations can be delivered to JFCS Monday-Friday. Monetary and credit card donations are also accepted to the Sonny and Janet Meyer Family Food Pantry Fund. Call 452-6341 for more information.
