Jewish Family Services of Greater Kansas City (JFS) received a surprise gift of $125,000 as part of the William G. McGowan Charitable Fund’s Food Insecurity Response Initiative.
This unexpected gift will support the JFS Food Pantry as the agency weathers the winter months.
The JFS Food Pantry is committed to providing nutritious, culturally and dietarily appropriate food for the 500 families it serves each month. Rising food prices have made this more difficult in recent years. Special funds like the McGowan Charitable Fund ensure JFS clients can continue to receive items like proteins, fresh produce and pantry staples each time they visit JFS.
“The McGowan Fund has been an incredible partner to us in challenging times,” JFS Chief Program Officer Maggie Haghirian said. “They understand the way we seek to serve Kansas City, and they’ve shown their support again and again. Our clients, our board, our staff and our volunteers thank you for all you do for JFS and our shared community.”
