![]() (Press Release) Ferd & Gladys Alpert Jewish Family Service (Alpert JFS) celebrated the opening of the organizations’ Enrichment Center in Boynton Beach with a ribbon cutting ceremony today featuring Congresswoman Lois Frankel. The center is located inside Temple Shaarei Shalom at 9085 Hagen Ranch Road in Boynton Beach. The Alpert JFS Enrichment Center features a 1,500 square foot Food Pantry, complete with a client choice pantry and cold storage for fresh food, open to individuals struggling with food insecurity in Palm Beach County. The food pantry offers kosher and non-kosher food options. The center also has dedicated space to offer programs and services, including support groups, counseling, psychiatry, care management, Career Connections, educational workshops, Mental Health First Aid training, and more.
Congresswoman Frankel was instrumental in securing $1,025,000 in Federal Earmarks, which allowed Alpert JFS to create a one-stop state-of-the-art shop to help people and families in need in the western parts of Palm Beach County. Each month, Alpert JFS provides food and household supplies to 400 individuals through the organization’s two food pantry locations in Boynton Beach and West Palm Beach. The organization supports over 12,500 individuals each year with various services and programs. “It is beyond meaningful to me to represent this wonderful community and be able to bring home critical funding that makes a huge difference in the everyday lives of so many,” said Congresswoman Lois Frankel. “I can’t say enough about the incredible job Alpert JFS and its dedicated staff and volunteers do and am so grateful to them.” Comments are closed.
