Mae S. Gelb Kosher Food Pantry

The Mae S. Gelb Kosher Food Pantry, located in Scranton, PA, has been dedicated to providing vital food assistance and essential household items since 2001. We serve individuals and families facing significant financial hardships, including the elderly living on limited incomes, unemployed people seeking temporary support, and those dealing with challenging life circumstances. Our welcoming environment allows clients to make self-referrals or be referred by friends, family, or social service agencies. To access our services, clients must schedule an appointment with a social worker to complete a pantry screening form. Once eligibility is confirmed, clients are guided through our pantry to select the food and household essentials they need. Our mission thrives thanks to the generous contributions from the Gelb Foundation, local community members, synagogues, and other Jewish organizations, ensuring that we can continue to provide compassionate support to those in need.
