Your group can support the JFS Polack Food Bank from anywhere!
Looking to bring an element of service into your next event? Sign up for our Community Bagging Initiative, and you’ll get all the tools you need to set up an engaging, hands-on, and fun volunteer activity!
Your group can support our Polack Food Bank by bagging bulk food (e.g., rice, beans, oats) into smaller portions, so that we can distribute them to the 2,000+ neighbors we serve! Help us provide culturallyappropriate food to our visitors with our consumer-choice model that enables them to choose the foods they want. Make a difference at your next birthday party, B’nai Mitzvah event, or workplace gathering with our ready-to-go volunteer kit!
