Jewish Family & Children’s Service seeks donations to serve Glendale location

Posted

The “Just 3 Things” food pantry at Jewish Family & Children’s Service is experiencing an urgent demand for personal care items, non-perishable and non-expired foods, cleaning supplies, and small bags of pet food.

The pantry serves youth transitioning out of the foster care system, clients who visit JFCS integrated healthcare centers, and individuals who participate in JFCS programs across the Valley, including the elderly and those facing food insecurity. Social services also benefit its Glendale location, at 5701 W. Talavi Blvd., Suite 180.

“Demand for personal care items and food is up as the cost of goods has skyrocketed,” Len Gutman, JFCS director of philanthropy, shared in a statement. “Inflation has created a tough situation for many of the individuals and families we serve. We don’t want to have to turn anyone away because our shelves are empty.”

Individuals and businesses interested in helping can donate to the pantry by making a monetary donation, purchasing items from the JFCS Just 3 Things Amazon Wish List, or delivering store purchased items to one of the following locations, Monday through Friday:

  • JFCS Administrative Office, 4747 N. 7th St., Suite 100, Phoenix
  • Ina Levine Jewish Community Campus, 12701 N. Scottsdale Road, Scottsdale
  • Temple Chai, 4645 E. Marilyn Road, Phoenix
  • Temple Solel, 6805 E. McDonald Drive, Paradise Valley

 Masks are required while in JFCS buildings. JFCS is also looking for volunteers to help provide services and support to the community.
