A very special thanks to Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc. for their very generous grant of $5,000 for our Jerry Doliner Food Bank. In providing this grant, Winn-Dixie recognizes the valuable contribution of our food bank to those in need in our community, regardless of religious affiliation. Only through the support of individuals and corporate sponsors like Winn-Dixie can this project continue. Thank you Winn-Dixie for caring!

For everyone who purchases food or gives funds to the Jerry Doliner Food Bank, one dollar will be allotted for each item or dollar donated. So now is the time to give. THANKS TO THOSE WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED! We have been blessed with a number of organizations giving us a helping hand with food and hygienic donations: Florida Hospital gave us two truck loads of food and toiletries, many schools had toilet paper drives for us namely South Daytona Elementary students who supplied the food bank with 805 rolls of toilet paper. Temple Beth-el school parents continue to have toilet paper and food drives for us. Cantor Zev Sonnenstein of Temple Beth-El organized a trick or treat for Hunger Drive at Tomoka subdivision. Instead of candy, he asked homeowners to supply food to hungry people and the response was great. All the synagogues had food drives for the Jerry Doliner Food Bank. Congregation B'Nai Torah had a walk-a-thon for us. The need has increased and we appreciate all the help we can get. At the present we have spent over $126,000 on food this year and have assisted with food to over 21,000 less fortunate individuals in Volusia & Flagler Counties.
100%
of your donations go towards the food bank. The Federation absorbs all
expenses. Because our Jewish community is small, 95% of people we help
are not of the Jewish faith. We need the community's help to allow us
to continue our mission "to give to the less fortunate even in the most
difficult times."
