You're an integral part of our community. You have a unique power to help foster success for individuals and families. The JFCS Squirrel Hill Food Pantry provides supplemental food to the community to combat food insecurity – and we need your help!
Get Involved in Volunteering Today
We are excited to have you on board, and we look forward to working with you. Let’s make a difference together! Take a look at our current volunteer opportunities below to get started!
Take on a Shift
The JFCS Squirrel Hill Food Pantry is open every weekday, and helps provide for over 700 families. Shift volunteers sign up to help us on a weekly, biweekly, or monthly basis. Help us unload, organize and stock food, guide clients through their pantry shop, explain food options to clients, and weigh their groceries before they leave.

Sometimes reaching out also means reaching outside of our building! Deliver pre-made bags of food to apartment buildings, pick up food gathered by various synagogues around the High Holidays, and pick up donated bread from our partner vendors to be distributed to the Pantry’s clients.

"I've always taken care of myself, but I reluctantly applied at the food pantry. It has been wonderful. They made me feel comfortable from the first day I walked in. The staff and volunteers there are warm, caring, friendly, and helpful."
