Our local grocery stores like Shoprite, Acme & Walmart generously allow JFS to restock our necessities through on-site collections. Volunteers distribute flyers, request items, and collect donations.

Throughout the year, the community makes a difference with various collections. From gathering school bags and supplies to our annual turkey drive, as well as the general Jewish holiday donations and kid-friendly snacks in summer, there are plenty of ways to get involved or host your own Community Collection and make a meaningful impact.

Schools, troops, National Honor Society, families, and friends are encouraged to volunteer collectively or individually to fulfill service hour requirements, mitzvah projects, engage in community service, or simply for fun!

Volunteers assist by placing online orders, picking up groceries from any Atlantic County ACME and then coordinating delivery and helping to put food away in the member’s home.

Kosher Meals on Wheels
Ready-to-eat Kosher meals are delivered by volunteers on a weekly basis to dozens in our community. Volunteers select a variety meals (fish, lasagna, chicken, fresh fruit, soup, and dessert) based on a member’s preferences and personally deliver to their home. Meals are packed at the Margate office and delivered to residents in throughout Atlantic County.
