| Donate to a Specific Program | |
Seniors who must consider abstaining from meals to pay rent or utilities and those who have difficulty going to the grocery store are dependent on this program. JFS volunteers enjoy the benefit of a two-fold mitzvah: delivering bags of groceries for those in need and visiting isolated and frail seniors. The delivery of food helps to assure these seniors are not forgotten.
Volunteers assist in all the aspects of the program, from purchasing food, sorting and bagging the items to arranging the deliveries. BSK Volunteers are also instrumental in helping JFS determine the status of the clients and their unmet needs.

For so many who have no one, or nothing to fall back on, JFS can help. We qualify each individual, identify the needs, and can call landlords, FPL, local pharmacies and a variety of service providers to make arrangements to help with critical problems, such as electricity and phone shut-off notices. More importantly, when assistance is needed, such as temporary home care, cleaning services, applications for Medicaid or other government programs, care managers can provide assistance.
