“The Harvey Kornblum Jewish Food Pantry is a great program that reaffirms the dignity of each of its clients by giving folks the opportunity to choose their groceries just like any other grocery store,” Kander said. “That it does so while serving nearly 8,000 clients every month is truly inspiring.”
