In that role, she was responsible for preparing her clients’ treatment plans and ensuring that they adhered to all company standards.   With September being Hunger Awareness Month, Sankin says her focus is on being mindful of the populations that the Mitzvah Food Program serves and being able to provide culturally significant foods for them.   “At our Old York pantry, we have a lot of individuals from Haiti,” Sankin noted. “At one of the distribution weeks, we offered plantains, mangos, sweet potatoes and catfish. The clients were so happy to see these items.”   \*\*\* **The Mitzvah Food Program features four pantries throughout Greater Philadelphia that offer nutritious, Kosher food to all who are in need, regardless of race, income, gender, age or religion.** **For more information about the Mitzvah Food Program, visit** [**jewishphilly.org/mfp**](https://jewishphilly.org/resources/mitzvah-food-program/)**, email [mitzvahfoodprogram@jewishphilly.org](mailto:mitzvahfoodprogram@jewishphilly.org) or call 215.832.0509.**      Share [Share on Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://blog.jewishphilly.org/meet-julie-sankin-mitzvah-food-program-care-manager&title=Meet%20Julie%20Sankin:%20Mitzvah%20Food%20Program%20Care%20Manager) [Share on Twitter](http://twitter.com/home?status=Meet%20Julie%20Sankin:%20Mitzvah%20Food%20Program%20Care%20Manager+https://blog.jewishphilly.org/meet-julie-sankin-mitzvah-food-program-care-manager) [Share by Email](mailto:?subject=Meet%20Julie%20Sankin:%20Mitzvah%20Food%20Program%20Care%20Manager&body=Meet%20Julie%20Sankin:%20Mitzvah%20Food%20Program%20Care%20Manager%20-%20https://blog.jewishphilly.org/meet-julie-sankin-mitzvah-food-program-care-manager) ### Sign up for the *Jewish Philly* E-Newsletter [Back to The Latest](https://blog.jewishphilly.org) [Tweets by JFedinPhilly](https://twitter.com/JFedinPhilly?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) ## Find us on ![JFGP_KO_rgb](https://blog.jewishphilly.org/hs-fs/hubfs/JFGP_KO_rgb.png?width=300&height=84&name=JFGP_KO_rgb.png) Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia Two Commerce Square 2001 Market Street, Suite 2300 Philadelphia, PA 19103 [215.832.0500](tel:1-215-832-0500) | [info@jewishphilly.org](mailto:info@jewishphilly.org) *The Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia welcomes the participation of Jews across the religious spectrum, interfaith couples and families, and people of all abilities, backgrounds, gender identities, and sexual orientations.
