Join us at the Jewish Federation!

A Request for our Food Pantry
The Food Pantry at the Jewish Federation is accessible to and serves all Jews regardless of affiliation or denomination.

Due to the increased need of the holiday season, the Federation's Kosher Food Pantry is in need of gas cards and grocery cards in $25 dollar value.  Although $25 is preferable for the needs of our recipients, any amount is greatly appreciated!  We appreciate your efforts so much!  You may drop off the cards at the Federation or mail them if that is easiest for you!  Just a reminder to write the numerical value on the card, so JFS will know how to distribute! 

You can also donate online by visiting our Food Pantry page by visiting thejewishfed.org/jewish-family-services/kosher-pantry and clicking on the link in the first paragraph.

Todah Rabah as always.  L'shana Tovah...May it be a good year for us all!


Annual Community Sukkah Build
Sunday, October 16th, 12:00-2:00 PM

Join us as we prepare the Federation for Sukkot by constructing our Sukkah! We need strong hands to help construct the Sukkah, and creative hands to help us decorate it and make it into our home outside of home for the days of Sukkot. We will have delicious lunch items available for everyone, and once our Sukkah is constructed, we can sit in it and enjoy it together. We look forward to seeing everyone from the community! Please RSVP to Rowan at [email protected] or 574-233-1164, so that we can plan the work and know how much food to have prepared.
