Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Food Pantry at JFS Needs Your Help!

Last year, the women of Allied Jewish Federation's CHOICES event selected the JFS Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Food Pantry for the mitzvah project for the second year and the support of donations was invaluable. Unfortunately, the needs continue to grow and we are experiencing a shortage again. The Pantry is almost completely out of toiletries such as tampons, toothpaste and toothbrushes, deodorant, shampoo, and other items we take for granted. Donations may be dropped off on the second floor of the JFS Client Services Center at 3201 S. Tamarac Dr., Denver, CO 80231. Financial contributions may also be sent to the same address.
