Max Block Food Pantry

Now with Two Locations: Jacksonville and Macclenny

Last year the Max Block Food Pantry, along with our satellite pantries, provided
more than 415,206 meals and served more than 46,134 individuals

We believe that no child or family should go hungry in our community.

Picture a child who relies on school lunches for his or her only meal of the day because their family can’t afford to purchase groceries.

Imagine a mother who makes minimum wage and can barely support a family, or a father who was laid off from a job and is looking for work. What if you found out your elderly parent had to choose between paying their rent or eating?

Unfortunately, these stories are all too common in our local community. They are the stories of our friends, co-workers, children’s playmates and even our neighbors.

JFCS’s Max Block Food Pantry is here to meet one of their most basic of needs – putting food on their table.
