(IN-PERSON) JFCS Wheels for Meals – Bike Ride Fundraiser

Sunday, October 3 | 8:00 AM | Mercer County Community College, West Windsor

Now more than ever, food is a serious need in our region, where 1 in 10 individuals are food insecure.

Funds raised through Wheels for Meals bike ride fundraiser will support JFCS hunger prevention programs including our brick-and-mortar pantry, our two-vehicle mobile pantry fleet that delivers our pantry experience to food insecure individuals all across the Greater Mercer community, the Kosher Café which provides hot lunches to low-income seniors 4 days a week, and Kosher Meals on Wheels which delivers weekly meals to home bound seniors.

During the pandemic, not a single one of our programs stopped, and our food programs in particular saw higher demand than ever. The high level of demand will not be decreasing soon, which is why JFCS is thrilled to launch this new annual fundraiser dedicated entirely to supporting our food programs.

Leanne was named one of Forbes’ 30 Under 30.
