Description

Join JFS & Chef Michael Solomonov to honor 50 years of Finkelstein-Cohen Kosher Meals on Wheels & expansion of The Libby Urie Food Pantry! INTERESTED IN VIP SPONSORSHIP OF THIS EVENT? CLICK HERE! Join us in recognizing 50 years of sustaining our community by providing meal delivery to homebound seniors in Central Pennsylvania. This celebration recognizes one of the many critical services that JFS provides to over 1,500 people annually, and marks the significant milestone of having served more than 250,000 meals to local homebound seniors, along with many other life-saving health and human services that our community relies upon. JFS is also celebrating the expansion of The Libby Urie Food Pantry which provides over 12,500 lbs. of food a year to more than 70 families in need in the community. Founded in 1972 after the June flood, the KMOW program relies on volunteers who not only deliver meals, but also a friendly visit (at a time where solitude is worrisome). Caring for the all aspects of the participant’s life, clients are evaluated by a social worker to determine if additional services are needed and receive two follow up visits per year to assess any changes. The event will also focus on the expansion of The Libby Urie Food Pantry, which provides non-perishable food to community members in need. Your support will help JFS maintain and expand these important programs that provide needed food to our homebound seniors and community members in need. We will be joined by four-time James Beard Award-winning chef Michael Solomonov. As the keynote, Solomonov will speak about his passion for food-based non-profits and the role they play in strengthening communities. As a three-time James Beard winning chef, author and restauranteur, Solomonov will share insight into the resources necessary to ensure communities get access to nutritious food.
