Celebrating Our Cause, Sustaining Our Work

Our fundraising efforts are directed toward existing organizations. When we co-host events, such as prior collaborative efforts with FareStart, NECAT, Rhode Island Food Bank, and Boston University, a majority of the funds raised go directly to our partner. We are proud to support the great work that is being done in communities all across our nation.

Making a Difference

The 1935 Society

August is Make-A-Will Month, a time to reflect on the importance of planning for the future and ensuring that your wishes are respected. The JPF’s Director of Philanthropy, Tula Gogolak, created the 1935 Society to bring together a circle of friends who share a common vision to ensure future generations have access to culinary education, life skills training, upward mobility, and better health through better food.
