www.jfcsmpls.org JFCS addresses food insecurity With need at an all-time high, JFCS conducts multi-pronged effort to address food insecurity

ith food insecurity at record-high levels in the Twin Cities, JFCS has added to its food security services by fighting hunger in new ways this fall. These efforts include securing food Wdonations, emergency food box deliveries, outreach to local food shelves and legislative advocacy plans. According to Second Harvest Heartland, before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, one in 11 Minnesotans struggled to afford food. Now, one in eight Minnesotans face hunger. JFCS is here to help. The Stillman Family Foundation, led by JFCS Board Member Andy Stillman, in December donated 20,000 pounds of dried fruit and nuts, which JFCS distributed to local organizations who, in turn, distributed the food to individuals and families in need. A second food delivery in February included more dried fruit and nuts along with granola and other nutritious, shelf-stable food. More deliveries are expected. JFCS stores the food in its Hag Sameach warehouse, and arranges to get the food out to community members through the anti-hunger network in which it participates. JFCS volunteers deliver the food to organizations without cost. “Andy Stillman and the Stillman Family Foundation have been terrific catalysts and partners in helping JFCS to expand the ways in which we help community members to achieve food security,” said Lee Friedman, JFCS Chief Operating Officer. “Now, when the pandemic has forced economic hardship on so many of our neighbors, JFCS is determined and ready to provide more support to fight hunger.” Food shelf closures The PRISM Food Shelf, which shares a building with JFCS, was forced to close temporarily this fall due to COVID (it “We’re finding that with the rules changing, the need has since re-opened); this sort of rolling closure for food increasing, and the extra component of people unable to shelves will likely continue to be an issue in the metro area.
