More families who need help putting food on the table are turning to The Corner Market. JFS is getting an increased number of calls for help with food assistance because of the end of pandemic-era benefits and the rising cost of living, according to Tom Stewart, JFS’s Director of Division Operations, Nutrition Services. Shoppers at The Corner Market can select nutritious foods free of charge based on a point system. Instead of being handed a bag full of food, people have “a dignified experience of going shopping for themselves,” said Stewart, and “get to choose what works best for their family.”
