Become a JFS Friendly Visitor
Make a Real Difference
in the Life of of an Isolated Senior!
As we put our best foot forward during this new Jewish year of 5780, consider taking action to enrich your life and the life of others.
JFS is in need of empathetic and committed volunteers to become Friendly Visitors. A JFS Friendly Visitor is matched up with an isolated senior for a weekly or every other week visit and they form lasting friendships with the senior. Our Friendly Visitors say that they get so much more than they give.
Increased Need for Shabbat Meals
As the number of isolated, low income seniors has grown in Silicon Valley, JFS needs to double the number of recipients of our wonderful kosher Shabbat dinners, provided by Pars Kosher Market.
Shabbat Meal program is wholly supported by community donations.
$42 will feed a struggling family, homebound, isolated seniors, adults with special needs, and elderly Holocaust survivors who all appreciate a kosher meal on Shabbat.
Knitzvah at the Border
JFS SV's Knitzvah group
is helping families at the border!
Former JFS Board member, Dr. Elizabeth Lichy is part of a group of physicians and allied health professionals from Stanford University who are bringing supplies including Knitzvah-created hats and blankets, when they provide medical care in clinics there.
Thank you, Elizabeth and Knitzvah, for your constant response to the need for warmth in the world around us.
