Jacobson Family Food Pantry

The Jacobson Family Food Pantry delivers non-perishable groceries, fresh fruits and vegetables, and challah every other week free of charge to people experiencing serious financial difficulties. Founded in 1996, the mission of the Food Pantry is to ensure that no individual or family in our community goes hungry. By alleviating the problem of hunger, our clients are able to direct their focus on improving their situation. Providing for those who are lacking the means to afford basic necessities is the essence of Tzedakah, which asks us to help those in need live with more dignity and comfort.

In 2019, the estate of Madeline and Eugene Pargh made a magnanimous donation to the Jacobson Family Food Pantry non-perishable food section. In recognition, the Jacobson Family Food Panty was named the Pargh Family Grocery.
