Support the JCC and #JCCBubbesBrisket
The Katz JCC is well on their way to raising $10,000 to support the senior meal program, but we still need your support! The JCC is home to the largest congregate meal program in Camden County, and the average participant is 82 years of age, widowed and living alone. Statistically, older adults living alone, regardless of income, are malnourished because it’s difficult to be motivated to cook for one.
Please help the Katz JCC continue to offer its flourishing adult meal program by donating to their crowdfunding campaign, Bubbe’s Brisket, now through Thursday, August 3. To learn more about this campaign and to donate, click here.
