NSJC Food Pantry

Our Cupboard is Bare

In August, many boxes of food were delivered to the Suffolk Y and a local soup kitchen for people who experience a lack of necessities.

help to replenish our pantry. We need cereal, canned fish, canned veggies, canned fruit, canned soup, pasta, sauces, etc!

Let's start the New Year off on the right foot. Be a part of this SOCIAL ACTION mitzvah!
