Jewish Family Services is incredibly grateful to be selected as one of two recipients of the National Foundation to End Senior Hunger (NFESH) award!

The National Foundation to End Senior Hunger is focused on the unique nutritional needs of older individuals who often have fewer resources (and not just financial ones) than their younger friends and neighbors.

This grant, the Jack & Eleanor Borden Kosher Meal Fund, will help the JFS Food Pantry Program relieve present day hunger for some of our nation’s most vulnerable seniors.
