WAYS TO HELP:
The next time you are ordering from Amazon, you can make an easy choice to click on this link (JFS San Diego COVID 19 Amazon Wishlist) and have groceries delivered to the JFS food pantry (called the Corner Market). The pantry is getting very low on food, and there are a lot of people in need now. If many of us even have one or two items delivered, it could make a difference to a hungry person or family.
