COMMUNITYBRIEFS Shore Residents Can Donate Surplus Food
JEWISH FAMILY SERVICE of Atlantic & Cape May
Counties is asking summer Jersey shore residents to
consider donating any surplus nonperishable food
they prefer to not bring home.

JFS will accept nonperishable goods, such as
peanut butter, jelly, tuna, soups and snacks. Food
may be dropped off at the JFS Pantry Monday
through Friday from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. or deposited in the
collection bin outside of the Margate office at 607 N.

Jerome Ave.

In 2020, JFS fed more than 7,335 people, including
2,487 children and 30 Holocaust survivors. This
year, JFS anticipates distributing more than 100,000
pounds of food. The agency recently tripled the size of
its pantry and now offers fresh fruits and vegetables,
poultry, meats, frozen foods, baby formula, diapers,
wipes and more.
