Celebrating Our Mobile Food and Hygiene Pantry On May 31, JFS leadership, Board members, supporters, and the media came together to celebrate the unveiling of our new state-of-the-art Mobile Food and Hygiene Pantry. Guests: • Listened to remarks from Linda P. Foster, JFS President and CEO and Diane Cushman Neal, President and Founder of Donations for Dignity. • Learned how JFS food support programs help combat hunger wherever it exists. • Toured the pantry and saw firsthand how JFS addresses hunger and essential needs throughout our community. The Mobile Food and Hygiene Pantry will travel to Denver neighborhoods and housing complexes with high percentages of food insecurity and community and recreation centers to bring healthy, fresh, and culturally relevant foods and hygiene items to these areas.
“We know that removing transportation barriers ensures families experiencing food insecurity continue to have access to nutritious food and hygiene products along with information about the programs and services JFS provides,” shared JFS Chief Advancement Officer Jessica Zeidman. “The Mobile Food and Hygiene Pantry will reach people who can’t get to the grocery stores or the Weinberg Food Pantry, and we are so thankful for the generous support from passionate JFS donors Diane Cushman Neal and Scott Neal to help make this happen.” You can support the Mobile Food and Hygiene Pantry and other JFS food programs at jewishfamilyservice.org/food-support.
