1985

It all started when…

Muriel Happich saw a need in her community of Jenkintown in 1985. This dedicated congregant of the JUMC Church founds a food pantry by the name of “Loaves and Fishes Cupboard” which later becomes the Jenkintown Food Cupboard.

Congregants and volunteers packed bags of canned goods from a small room in the church annex, serving a modest group of families in need every Thursday.
