Brighton Food Cupboard Receives Award

Jewish Family Service received the Elmer Louis Award from the Jewish Federation of Greater Rochester for the Brighton Food Cupboard for superior programming in the Rochester Jewish Community. The Brighton Food Cupboard, a program of Jewish Family Service in cooperation with the Brighton Central School District, Foodlink, other community organizations and volunteers, opened in 2010 to help prevent and reduce hunger and food insecurity for individuals and families in Brighton and the surrounding communities. In addition to supplying food to approximately 500 individuals per month, the Brighton Food Cupboard houses a JFS social work case manager who meets with Food Cupboard clients to assess and make referrals based on their needs.
