Jewish Family Services is offering community members the opportunity to help more than 220 families by sponsoring Rosh Hashanah meal kits.

One meal donation will provide a family with a holiday meal kit including challah, roast chicken, soup, apples, dried fruit, honey, juice and other fresh produce. 

“Seeing how the community comes together to ensure that all can celebrate a sweet new year always warms my heart,” Director of Pantry Partnerships Jo Hickey said.

Donations are needed by Sept. 1 to help underwrite the holiday meal kits. Donations can be made online at jfskc.org/donate-holiday, by calling (913) 730-1429 or by mail to JFS, Attn: Holiday Meals, 5801 W. 115th St., Overland Park, KS 66211.

Volunteers are needed to pack food boxes, and drivers are needed to deliver these holiday meals to JFS client families on Thursday, Sept. 14. Those interested in volunteering can email .
