JFS is seeking donations to keep its pantry shelves stocked as it heads into the fall and winter when demand is likely to increase.
About 50% of the pantry’s inventory comes from public donations.
For the fall food drive, conducted in partnership with the Rabbinical Association of Greater Kansas City, the public is asked to fill a bag with groceries. The most needed items are canned tomato products, soup, canned fruit, paper towels, body lotion and bar soap. Donors can drop off donations in the designated barrels during business hours at The J (5801 W. 115th St., Overland Park, KS 66214) or the Brookside location (325 E. 63rd St., Kansas City, MO 64113).
Alternatively, those interested can shop online and ship items directly to JFS. JFS has an Amazon Wish List to shop from at amzn.to/3XH5v7Z.
Financial donations are welcome at jfskc.org/donate or mailed to JFS, 5801 W. 115th St., Suite 103, Overland Park, KS 66211.
More information about donating or hosting a food drive is available by calling (913) 327-8257 or emailing Jo Hickey, JFS director of pantry partnerships, at .
