TBB's partnership with Family Table (a program of Jewish Family and Children's Service)
makes it possible to meet the growing needs in the ever-increasing number of Jewish
families experiencing food insecurity. As with other food pantries throughout the
nation, Family Table is currently experiencing a decrease in donated food products.
Family Table's partnership with the temple, along with our continued help this coming
year, is essential for their ability to continue to provide life-sustaining food to
their recipients.

- Please enter through the back door and check in immediately at the Registration desk in the Cafeteria.
- You will participate in a 5 minute orientation on how to pack and the confidentiality and sensitivity issues of delivering food to people's homes.
- At that time you will be assigned two families for whom you will pack specific food orders and deliver to their homes. Family Table will provide driving directions.
- It will take you approximately 20-30 minutes to pack two specific orders and get them to your car.
- 99% of the deliveries are within a half an hour drive of Waltham. Family Table asks that you deliver the food immediately upon leaving the food pantry because there will be perishable products in your orders.
