Jewish Family Service of Seattle (JFS), a longtime SJC affiliate, manages its own food bank, Polack Food Bank, on Capitol Hill in Seattle, from which it's been feeding our local community for nearly 100 years. 💯 Today, they help fight food insecurity in more than 2,000 households, both within Seattle as well as on the eastside. 🧺

Each year, JFS hosts an Annual Food Drive in support of their Polack Food Bank, as a High Holiday tzedakah opportunity, which runs from Rosh Hashanah through Yom Kippur. SJC is proud to support this drive every year by collecting food donations at both our high holiday events. 🫡

This drive culminates in their Annual Food Sort, where more than 200 volunteers gather each year to sort, organize and distribute all the donations they received throughout the drive. Every year, our older Mitzvah Secular Sunday School students volunteer their time in support of the Sort, and YOU 🫵 can join them!
