A Successful Project Isaiah
Thank you for supporting the 2018 Project Isaiah food drive! Our community donated 4 months' worth of provisions for the Jewish Food Bank.
Making healthy food a priority
“At first it was really tough, to feel like you are begging,” says Jacob. “It’s expensive to even buy at Walmart and you cannot get enough. ...Without the food bank my financial situation would be much worse.”
Prisoner Support
I wanted to let you know how appreciated your yearly assistance to us prisoners here at Mountain with bags for Rosh Hashanah. The reality is without those bags we would have no access to anything to help make the celebration of those Holidays significant.
Visiting the Jewish Food Bank
Today, before my first visit to the Jewish Food Bank, I was worried about how it would be. But from the moment I entered, I saw volunteers with smiles on their faces.
