In partnership with the Jewish Family Services and Rabbinical Association of Greater Kansas City, area congregations are taking the lead to help stock the shelves at the two locations of Jewish Family Services during the High Holiday season.

Food Pantry Task ForceFrom Sept. 29 through Oct. 18, members of the community are asked to bring food items to participating synagogues – as well as food barrels at the Jewish Community Campus and JFS Brookside. Most needed items include non-perishable boxed foods and canned goods, including canned corn and beans, protein items such as peanut butter and tuna fish as well as personal care items such as toilet paper, feminine hygiene products, toothpaste and deodorant.

The two pantry locations combined have experienced a 20 percent increase in demand for food. The pantry has distributed 284,334 pounds of food in the last year. On a monthly basis, the pantry distributes an estimated 3,000 cans of vegetables, 1,000 cans of tuna and 2,000 rolls of toilet paper.

Please donate what you can and stock the shelves!
