The Social Service Council of the Jewish Federation of Volusia & Flagler Counties, Inc. was established as a separate reporting committee in 1981 in response to a growing community need. This was demonstrated by an increasing number of requests for assistance made by individuals and families relating to financial stress, care of the aged, child welfare and other personal emergencies.

Support the Jerry Doliner Food Bank - The Social Service Council of the Jewish Federation maintains a well-stocked crisis food bank which provides emergency food to people who “fall through the cracks” of the system. The food bank provides staples such as cereals, juices, canned vegetables and fruits, canned meats, peanut butter, pasta, canned and dry milk, paper goods, and other items deemed necessary for survival.

Due to the current state of the economy the Jerry Doliner Food Bank is serving an increasing number of clients in Volusia and Flagler County and there is still much more we must do to reduce the growing food insecurity in our community. If you would like to make a donation to the Jerry Doliner Food Bank please drop-off unopened and unexpired food items or paper goods at our headquarters located at 470 Andalusia Avenue, Ormond Beach, FL 32174.

You can make it easier on our volunteers by dropping off your food donation in the morning and bringing quantity of one single item instead of several various food item. For example 10 cans of ravioli are easier for us to manage than 10 cans of ten different items. 

The Food Bank hours are 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM, Monday through Friday, and a United Way or other agency’s referral slip is required to receive food. For more information on how you can help the Jerry Doliner Food Bank please call us at (386) 672-0294.
