Fighting Hunger With Our Hearts! ~Matthew 25:35
COVID-19
In 2020 throughout COVID-19 JDH had the opportunity to provide groceries to over 161,000 individuals—of which 75,178 were children—who did not have to go to bed hungry at night. JDH distributed over 700,000 pounds of food. As the pandemic continues in 2021, we have given groceries to over 121,630 individuals—of which 53,131 are children—and distributed a total of 852,635 pounds of food. We are exercising extreme caution by packing their online selections, giving appointment days and times to pick up their groceries, and delivering their groceries. We have also implemented a drive-thru method for clients to receive their food. With our drive-thru method, the safety of the clients, staff and volunteers is our number one priority. We purchased plastic bags so we have no bag exchange with the clients. We put their food selection in allocated pre-packed bags into our shopping carts to be brought out to the clients based on their appointment time, making for a contactless distribution

We do our best to help those who are not our not part of our steady client base; however, we are working with limited resources and are not able to help everyone as we would like to in this overwhelming time that has put in increase pressure of the demand for food. We spend countless hours bagging food for our clients. We ensure the safety of the vulnerable community by making deliveries to them. All of our clients have appointments, and their food selection is packed for them based on their dietary needs which have been communicated to us through a screening process by in which proper health related questions are asked. Most of all we have come to know the clients we serve, and cherish those relationships.

As a classically trained chef, I feel it is important to try to fulfill their dietary restrictions as best as possible as we do not want anyone being more susceptible to possible illness during this pandemic. Our people are going through a tough time, and desperately need our help right now more than ever. So it is important for us to treat them with dignity and respect in these trying times. Although we cannot hug right now, we show them signs of embrace with air hugs and blowing kisses behind our mask when we deliver their food. Our clients know us and know they can trust us because we have their back!
