The mission of the Jewish Community Pantry is to provide emergency food to individuals and families in crisis in the greater Milwaukee community; to connect clients to community resources; to increase awareness of the existence of hunger in the community; and to educate the community on how to assist in alleviating hunger. It is our Jewish communal response to hunger in Milwaukee. It reflects our commitment to the Jewish values of Tzedakah (justice) and Tikkun Olam (repair of the world ) and to serving community members in need with Kavod (respect).
