Needs Gas Cards


The Jewish Family Services Food Pantry is in need of gas cards. Gas cards help offset the cost of travel to places of employment, medical appointments, school, social service appointments, and job interviews. We request gas cards be purchased in $25 increments and be dropped off or mailed to the Jewish Federation at 3202 Shalom Way, South Bend, IN 46615.
