JFS 2021 High Holiday Food Drive
The Jewish Family Service Polack Food Bank is committed to ensuring access to healthy, nutritious food for our most vulnerable neighbors. During this pandemic, households are turning to us for support. In addition to a sudden lack of income, many people also face fear, uncertainty and the potential of going hungry.
Like many other local food banks right now, supply chain challenges significantly impact our ability to procure food. To continue serving our community in this critical time, JFS is hosting a modified High Holiday Food Drive this fall, on Sunday, September 26, 2021.
Due to the health and safety of staff and volunteers, we will not be hosting a large sorting event like we’ve done in previous years. Instead, we are asking groups and individuals to drop off their donations with us that day from 10:00 a.m. to noon at an address that will be released soon.
We will have limited volunteer opportunities for vaccinated adults to package these food drive donations that day. Volunteers will need to be 16 years of age or older and physically able to lift and move large boxes. Please contact volunteer@jfsseattle.org if you’d like to volunteer in this capacity.
