KesherKC Mobile
KesherKC Mobile is an exciting new JFS initiative that takes our successful KesherKC program out into the community into underserved areas. Food insecurity in the Kansas City area affects almost 1 in 5 families and with KesherKC Mobile, JFS will go to partner and community sites to make it easier for these families to access vital resources.
