As a way to honor Madeline and Eugene Pargh (z’l), dear friends and JFS benefactors for many years, a designated gift has been made by their estate to JFS’ Jacobson Family Food Pantry. In recognition of this magnanimous donation, the grocery section at the Jacobson Family Food Panty has been named the Pargh Family Grocery.” Having Andy Pargh, the Pargh's younger son, and Anne Jacobson in attendance made the evening extra special.
