JFSCNJ receives $14,500 in groceries from Hackettstown market
The executive director of Jewish Family Service of Central New Jersey, Tom Beck, got a call from Marian Marlowe, the Jewish Federation of Greater MetroWest NJ’s director of local partnerships. The call led to JFS collecting $14,500 worth of groceries from Shop Fresh Marketplace in Hackettstown.
The store, which was going out of business, offered the JFSCNJ Charlotte Shak Kosher Food Pantry the opportunity to have a supermarket sweep to benefit its clients and the Tomchei Shabbos – Shabbat Packages program.
Tara Speyer of Hillside, a JFSCNJ board member and Tomchei Shabbos co-chair, and her family; Tomchei Shabbos co-chair Bracha Shechter and her daughter Sarah; and JFSCNJ staffers Danielle McLeer, its director of outreach and volunteers, and Food Pantry coordinator Kathleen Fernandez, rented a U-Haul truck and went shopping.
