Almost one in eight Americans is affected by “food insecurity” – the lack of consistent, dependable access to food due to limited money or resources. Rockland Jewish Family Service works to alleviate hunger in our community through the Rhoda Bloom Kosher Food Pantry, which provides kosher food to anyone in need in Rockland.
RJFS is part of Rockland Community Against Hunger (RCAH) which is a collaboration to provide information, raise awareness, mobilize support, and educate the community about healthy food and nutrition. For more information please visit http://www.rocklandhunger.org/.
For more information about how to apply to the Food Pantry please contact Stephanie Maddalena at 845-354-2121 x140 or email smaddalena@rjfs.org.
We welcome all to volunteer at our monthly distributions. We need volunteers from 8:30am-Noon. If you plan to bring a group please contact Stephanie at smaddalena@rjfs.org prior to the distribution.
If you would like to donate food to the pantry, you may bring it to the RJFS office M-Th 11am-5pm or Friday 11am-3pm. Food must be non-perishable, kosher and not past its “best by” date or expiration date.
