The Harvey Kornblum Jewish Food Pantry provides
nutritionally balanced meals, and delivers to those clients
unable to visit its office. In addition, clients who find
themselves in difficult economic circumstances may qualify for financial
assistance provided through special community-designated funds. As a community agency, they assist anyone in need of
their services, regardless of religious background.
MERS/Goodwill www.mersgoodwill.org (314) 241-3464
When you donate and recycle your unneeded
items to Goodwill they make them available to your neighbors at affordable
prices. The revenue that their forty stores earn is then invested in your
community through a variety of services including skills training
courses and employment programs. Your donation
to Goodwill is making a difference to improve the life of someone in
your community.
NCJW Resale Shop www.ncjwstl.org/resale.html (314) 692-8141
The NCJW Resale Shop sells quality new and gently-used clothing for
women and men, accessories, jewelry, furniture and more, plus an

Operation Food Search www.operationfoodsearch.org (314) 726-5355
Operation Food Search works tirelessly to fight hunger in more ways than
one. In addition to collecting and distributing food
throughout the bi-state region, they go beyond just supplying agencies
with free food. With comprehensive nutrition education programs, an
innovative weekend backpack program, and environmentally-friendly green
initiatives, Operation Food Search fights hunger with knowledge,
empowerment, and hope.
Project Backpack www.projectbackpackstlouis.org (314) 993-3033
Project Backpack provides emergency services by furnishing area police
departments, social service agencies,
domestic violence shelters and Department of Family Services workers
with backpacks
for children who are removed from their homes
usually with nothing but the clothes on their backs. The
backpacks are age and gender appropriate and
make the transition from crises situations to foster homes more
tolerable. Often
this is all the children will have with them
for quite some time. These backpacks are filled with necessary items
such
as sleep tees; socks; a variety of
toiletries; school supplies such as paper, crayons and pencils; games;
books; and stuffed
toys.
Salvation Army www.stlarc.org (314) 535-0057
The Salvation Army ARC currently operates eight Family Stores in the St. Louis metro area. These Family Stores account for most of the income that the Adult Rehabilitation
Center requires to operate.
Materials that are donated by the community are collected and sorted before distribution to the Family Stores. The processing of these donations also becomes a medium for the vocational therapy for the men in our program.
