Jewish Family Services (JFS) and the Jewish Federation of Greater Des Moines partner with agencies around Central Iowa to make an impact in the community as a whole. From one-time events to ongoing collaborations, JFS is involved in a wide range of efforts to support our Jewish and non-Jewish neighbors.

The Des Moines Area Religious Council (DMARC) operates a food pantry network that distributes emergency food assistance across our region.
Jewish Family Services and the Jewish Community Relations Council welcome the opportunity to collaborate on service projects that help meet the needs of our neighbors, particularly those dealing with food insecurity. To discuss a potential collaboration, please contact Sarah Eckstat at 515-987-0899 ext. 210 or sarahe@jewishdesmoines.org.
