Jewish Family Services of Greenwich announced the presentation of a $4,000 Grant Award from the First County Bank Foundation. This is the sixth grant they have received from the First County Bank Foundation, to be used exclusively to help support their Supermarketing for Seniors (SFS) program.

Supermarketing for Seniors is a free grocery shopping and case management program established in 1986 in response to the needs of a growing number of frail and elderly Greenwich residents who wanted to continue to live quality, independent lives in their own homes but were unable to do so without assistance in doing their marketing. Although it was started by and is run by Jewish Family Services of Greenwich, Supermarketing for Seniors serves individuals of all backgrounds. The only eligibility requirement is that a person be 60 years or older and live in the town of Greenwich. There is no fee for this service.

Established in 2001 in honor of the bank’s 150th anniversary, the First County Bank Foundation was created to distribute funds annually to nonprofit organizations that support community and economic development for children and families. As a mutual community bank with no shareholders, First County Bank considers contributions made by the foundation a means of paying dividends back to the local communities it serves. 

If you are a home-bound senior, or know of one, who is unable to shop for him or herself, or, you would like to volunteer to grocery shop for a Supermarketing for Seniors client, please call JFS at 203-622-1881. Supermarketing for Seniors is partially funded through the United Way of Greenwich and the Town of Greenwich.
