Northern Hills Synagogue is Sponsoring
Jewish Family Service Heldman Food Pantry
For Month of June

As part of the Cincinnati Jewish Community, during the month of May and June, our congregation has been asked to collect non-perishable items for the Jewish Family Service Heldman Food Pantry. During these two months, we ask that you donate specific food items that are listed here. You can do this by placing all items in the Jewish Family Service food barrel located in the main foyer of the synagogue.

The congregation has also been invited to visit the Jewish Family Service Heldman Food Pantry on Sunday, June 14th after minyan, arriving at the food pantry at 10:30 am. The food pantry is located on the Hebrew Union College campus off of Clifton Avenue next to Good Samaritan Hospital.

On June 14th, we will bring our non-perishable items to the pantry, stock shelves, and learn about “food insecurity” and how it exists in our Cincinnati community. This “field trip” is a wonderful way to give back and share an important experience with your entire family. We hope to see many of you there.

Perhaps you and your family members would find it a mitzvah to join us and see how your food donations are used and the impact it makes to our community. You can also feel free to donate the following non-perishable items by placing them in the Jewish Family Service food barrel located in the main foyer of the synagogue.
