Reminder: Bring Your Canned Food to High Holy Day Services!

While you are fasting for one day on Yom Kippur, many people in our community experience hunger year-round. This weekend when you attend holiday services at your synagogue, please remember to bring your canned food donations for the Weinberg Food Pantry. This year we are serving a larger number of people at the Pantry. More than ever, we need your help to provide nutritious food to people in need. If you do not attend services, please drop food off at JFS, 3201 S. Tamarac Dr. in Denver.

Below is the Pantry’s Top 10 List. Please add as many of these items to your shopping list as you can to ensure that those struggling in our community can have a sweet New Year.

1. Canned vegetables
2. Canned fruit
3. Protein (such as canned tuna, envelopes of tuna, and canned salmon)
4. Canned soup
5. Spaghetti and tomato sauce
6. Cereal
7. Full-sized toiletries
8. Dry soup
9. Diapers
10. Grocery store gift certificates

The Pantry’s ability to purchase items through Food Bank of the Rockies allows a dollar to go many times further than at the grocery store, so cash donations to the Weinberg Food Pantry are always welcome! Please mail checks to the JFS office or donate online.

If you have any questions, please contact David Rabb, Weinberg Food Pantry manager, at (303) 597. 5000, x359.
