Max Block Food Pantry, 6261 Dupont Station Ct E, Jacksonville, FL 32217

We will be giving away 200 bags of Thanksgiving food each day. If we run out of those, we will be able to fulfill demand with other items from the pantry.

Special thanks to the Block Family for their continued support which helps us provide this much-needed service to our community!

Our Food Pantry Serves the Entire Jacksonville Community

Last year the Max Block Food Pantry, along with our satellite pantries, provided
more than 284,800 meals and served more than 31,600 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.

Hours of Operation

Tuesdays & Thursdays 1pm-3pm

We are located at JFCS’s 2nd location:
6261 Dupont Station Court East
Jacksonville, FL 32217
off St. Augustine Road, two blocks from University Blvd

The food pantry is open to the Northeast Florida community. Typically, you may receive food up to four times in a 12-month period but under current circumstances, you may visit once a month. Walk-ins are welcome during the pantry’s hours of operation. Bring your Picture ID.

Note that the food pantry announces special hours the week of Thanksgiving and Christmas.
