Through the expertise of our staff, individuals and families are able to develop a plan to address serious and complex human needs.

DAVID D. FRAZIER FOOD PANTRY AT JEWISH FAMILY SERVICES

The Greensboro area has serious issues assuring that everyone has access to and can afford food. The David D. Frazier Food Pantry is one effort by the agency to respond to this need. Food bags are distributed on Thursdays from 10 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.

VOLUNTEERS ARE WELCOME! There are many opportunities for volunteers and community groups to get involved. Contact (336) 852-4829, ext. 227.

DONATING NON-PERISHABLE FOOD ITEMS IS EASY! Donations can be dropped off at Greensboro Jewish Federation’s front foyer, or you can contact (336) 852-4829, ext. 227, to arrange food giftcard donations. You can also help fill the David D. Frazier Food Pantry by ordering from our Amazon Wish List.

EMPLOYMENT SERVICES

Seeking employment is a daunting task, one for which we are not always prepared. Jewish Family Services’ Employment Services include skill-building workshops for jobseekers, a jobs listserv, and employment counseling. Much of this is done through Project Em, a national service that provides free workshops and career counseling for anyone seeking job support. Access Project Em services here, or contact Alicia Kaplan at (336) 852-4829, ext. 225.
