The Betsy & Peter Fischer Food Pantry

Volunteers help organize and distribute non-perishable food items and personal care products from our food pantry to individuals and families in need. During the Jewish holidays and at Thanksgiving, volunteers and JFCS Board Members help package and deliver holiday meals to homebound seniors and other community members.

"Thank you for the diapers and all the food you give us that helps us out with our food bill.  JFCS is truly there for those in need and sometimes we forget to say thank you.  This has been a very difficult year for our family, as my husband lost his job.  I don't know where we would be without you."  - Catie, client

Donations of non-perishable food, scrip, or gift cards enable us to assist clients who are experiencing financial difficulties. Donations may be made in-person to the Cherry Hill office during regular business hours.
