Today, you can help over 1,600 local children, families, and seniors access healthy food.
Your donation becomes someone's next meal. Together, we can fill every table.
Two Ways to Participate
Option 1: Virtual Food Drive
Multiply your impact from home! When you let JFS do the shopping, our wholesale purchasing power turns every $1 you donate into $3 of nutritious food. Your donation will be matched by Sandy and Ian Penn up to $10,000.
Participate online or by calling 604-558-5715.
Option 2: In-Kind Food Drive
- Pick up your Project Isaiah bags at participating locations September 10 – 23
- 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 September 23 (The JFS Kitchen is accepting donations throughout all of September and October.)
Your Impact
Support 1,600+ people in our community to access Kosher and nourishing food.
With your help, every month we can:
- Provide 2,500+ bags of fresh groceries, supporting over 1,200 people—including 258 children and 470 older adults
- Prepare and deliver 1,000+ Kosher/Parve meals to older adults and community members with disabilities.
- Provide grocery gift cards to ensure access to food for those living in more remote areas
- Offer skill-building cooking classes and programs that build confidence, connection, and dignity
