If you're looking for an easy way to give back to the community, please consider donating to our Community Food Banks. This is especially important while the kids are home for summer break. Non-perishable items like peanut butter, canned tuna or chicken, oatmeal, cereals, or canned vegetables are all good ways to support those in need of food assistance. We have a donation bin set up in the lobby of the Shanna & Bryan Glazer JCC so you can simply drop off items. Your support makes a big difference to so many in need.
