(AUG. 20, 2024 – ROCHESTER, NY) Jewish Home is thrilled to announce the opening of its new Employee Grocery Store. The grocery store will be stocked with staples, produce, frozen goods and more, all free to the majority of our employees.
With significant increases in cost of goods such as gas, utilities and rents over the past several years, food insecurity is a real fear of many. “We saw an opportunity to help address the need with employees at Jewish Home,” says Michael S. King, President and CEO. “This is a unique offering in our community and we are incredibly pleased to offer this service to our staff.”
The Employee Grocery Store will be open a minimum of twice per month and eligible hourly employees can fill up to two large bags of food essentials at no cost.
“I’m grateful Jewish Home made this accessible to employees,” says Rose Machado, an Adir at Jewish Home’s GreenHouse® Cottages. She adds, “This is a fantastic idea that will definitely help with increased food costs.”
