A warm and welcoming environment that helps address food security needs.

Distribution for the JFS Grocery Program (formerly known as the Jewish Food Bank) is held weekly at JFS The Kitchen, located at 54 East 3rd Avenue in Vancouver, and at seven hubs throughout the Lower Mainland. For those unable to pick up their grocery order at one of our hubs, we offer a delivery service.

We currently pack and distribute more than 2,450 bags of nutritious groceries each month to support over 1,000 community members, including 258 children and 470 older adults.

The JFS Grocery Program does not offer any meats, poultry, or shellfish. We ensure that kosher items are available for clients who do keep kosher.

Breakfast Club

Starting the day with a nutritious meal is vital to the growth of young children. The JFS Breakfast Club provides supplemental groceries bi-weekly to families in the Grocery Program who need the extra support. Healthy cereals, milk, and nut butters are some of the items included. This program is designed for families with children up to 12 years old.

The breakfast club items can be picked up from The Kitchen or one of the Neighbourhood Food Hubs.
