Jewish Family Services is here to help those who have lost their benefits because of the government shutdown.
Emergency Nutrition Assistance
If you or someone you care about has been impacted by the government shutdown or the halting of SNAP benefits, please know that you’re not alone. Every Wednesday, JFS will provide supplemental groceries—including non-perishables, pantry staples, and fresh produce—until the shutdown ends.
Pre-registration is not required.
Wednesdays, 4:00 – 6:00pm
Supplies are limited. First-come, first-served.
