Responding to Hunger Event
Thursday, November 12, 2026
5:30 – 7:30 pm
Location to be shared with attendees
The RESPONDING TO HUNGER event brings our community together for an evening celebrating what we can accomplish when generous individuals, community leaders, and businesses come together to care for their neighbors.
Guests at the event will enjoy wine, hors d’oeuvres, a silent auction, live music, and a meaningful program highlighting the realities of hunger in Greater Hartford and the impact we create together.
Ticket purchases and event sponsorships directly support the Anja Rosenberg Kosher Food Pantry, providing nutritious, kosher food to individuals and families from all backgrounds throughout the year. Additional gifts help sustain JFS’s full range of programs and services, allowing us to respond wherever the need is greatest.
Join us on November 12 and be part of a community coming together to respond to this growing need.
Follow JFS on Facebook and Instagram for additional event updates beginning in September.
On any given day at the Anja Rosenberg Kosher Food Pantry, you might meet an older adult whose pantry visit means they don’t have to choose between groceries and medication. A family rebuilding after a layoff upended their finances. A Holocaust survivor choosing ingredients to prepare a beloved family recipe. Or a Muslim mother selecting kosher foods that align with her family’s halal dietary needs.
These are just a few examples of the many people who turn to JFS for support each year. While their stories are different, every client is welcomed with compassion and respect. And as food costs remain high and economic uncertainty grows, more neighbors are turning to JFS to feed their families.
