How the cupboard works

Your household. Your groceries.

At JFC, neighbors choose from what is available rather than receiving the same prepacked assortment. A volunteer takes your selections from your car and brings your groceries out to you.

  • Fresh produce, protein, dairy, bread, and pantry staples
  • Full choice from available food each week
  • Registration and groceries on your first visit

Beyond the grocery bag

Help that follows real life.

Food is the core of JFC. These programs respond to the other needs neighbors bring with them.

01

Diapers and essentials

Diapers, hygiene items, and household supplies make a meaningful difference when the grocery budget is already stretched.

Montgomery County Food Project

One local cupboard. A much wider network.

JFC also works with food pantries and partners across Montgomery County to move food and essential supplies where they are needed. The Montgomery County Food Project is how this neighborhood effort reaches further.
