We are open again! The Jewish Community Pantry reopened on Thursday, September 8
after over a one-year absence due to the damage from the flood. Our new location is 2930
West Center Street. The hours remain on Thursdays from 11:00 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. The
Pantry will continue to maintain a general food section, a Kosher section, an infant section
as well as distribute stockboxes for the seniors.
One of our central values is Tikkun Olam, repairing the world. Our community has
been true to this. A special “thank you” to Alan Marcuvitz, George Meyer, Joe Devorkin
and Mark Shapiro for their tireless work that enabled us to move to our new site. Our
volunteers and staff of the Jewish Community Pantry wish to thank the community for
continuing to support the Pantry with food drives and monetary donations. We also thank
our local vendors for the food items that we brought to the Pantries throughout Milwaukee
while we were closed.
As we go about replenishing everything that was lost, monetary donations and nonperishable
food items are welcome. Food drives will again be conducted during the High
Holidays. Monetary donations can be mailed to: Jewish Community Pantry, 6255 N. Santa
Monica Blvd., Whitefish Bay, 53217.
The Jewish Community Pantry is co-sponsored by the Harry & Rose Samson Family
Jewish Community Center and the Women’s Division of the Milwaukee Jewish Federation.
To find out how you can help or receive more information, contact Dorene Paley,
Community Services Director at dpaley@jccmilwaukee.org or 414-967-8217.
