About the Alliance

The JFCS Women’s Alliance is a group of women committed to addressing hunger in our community. By supporting this initiative, you will help ensure that those with the greatest need will have access to healthy and nutritious food.

This membership-based collaboration benefits JFCS programs addressing hunger year after year. Over the past four years, 182 Founding & Sustaining Members have raised over $325,000 in support of the JFCS Mobile Food Pantry.

Why focus on Hunger?

In Mercer County, 1 in 12 individuals is estimated to be food insecure.

Prior to the pandemic, there were tens of thousands in our community who regularly had to choose between paying their bills and keeping food on the table. Throughout the past year, JFCS food programs saw higher demand than ever due to the increase in inflation, as those who were already in vulnerable positions were pushed even further.

The JFCS mobile and on-site food pantries distribute over 880 bags of food each month as more and more families turn to us for help.

Why become a member?

As a member of the Women’s Alliance, you will be invited to join in the annual member event, receive special gifts tailored to each event, and be listed on our website and in the Annual Report. Most of all, you will be making an impact in the year to come by supporting JFCS food programs.
