Get ready to make a difference!
JFS' annual community food drive is back to fight food insecurity and support the JFS Food Security programs.
You can help over 1,600 community members access nourishing food for a healthy life.
Two Ways to Participate
Option 1: Virtual Food Drive
Make a difference from the comfort of your home! Virtual food drives are a fantastic way for everyone to participate, regardless of time or physical ability constraints. It also helps you extend your purchasing power--when you let JFS do the shopping for you, every $1 you spend gives JFS the value of $3.
Participate online or by calling 604-558-5715.
Option 2: In-Kind Food Drive
- Pick up your Project Isaiah bags at participating locations September 22 – October 6
- Fill your bags with nourishing pantry items, especially healthy cereals and granola bars, pastas, beans and lentils, and rice
- Drop off your bag at any participating organization by October 6 (The JFS Kitchen is accepting donations throughout all of September and October.)
Your Impact
By partnering with us for Project Isaiah, you can make a significant impact.
Your support ensures that each of the over 1,600 people who rely on JFS food programs each month—children and families, older adults, and people living with disabilities—will have access to culturally appropriate, nourishing food each month.
Thanks to community-minded partners and donors like you, each month JFS Food Security programs:
- Pack and distribute 2,450+ bags of nourishing groceries, supporting over 1,000 people—including 258 children and 470 older adults
- Prepare and deliver 1,000+ Kosher/Parve meals to 100 older adults and disabled community members
- Provide grocery gift cards to ensure access to food for those living in more remote areas
- Host skill-building cooking classes and events for children and adults that foster resilience, connection, and dignity
