Dear Members and Friends,
Sid Jacobson JCC is an agency comprised of 22 lines of core program areas, all designed to connect and care for individuals no matter their age or ability. Although our buildings remain closed, we have redesigned each of our offerings to reach every member of the community. What are these programs? How can they be accessed? This communication seeks to answer those questions.
Our website:
www.sjjcc.org
is your source of the most up-to-date offerings divided by departments, age groups, and social service cohorts. Once in, you can
view our daily calendar
of on-demand and live programs,
contact information for staff
,
departmental updates
and
news you can use
. We also list the major events of our partners as our desire is to give you the resources needed and access to what the whole community has to offer. Our virtual world is constantly evolving, below is a sample of how to easily navigate the site:
Facebook:
You have multiple ways to stay connected with us on Facebook for updates, offerings, and programs to participate in. We are converting our pages into groups for better access, however, for now, we can be found at the following:

Remember, we have never turned away a member facing financial hardship, and we won’t start now. We understand there may be those in our community facing a loss of work or income, and another bill may be overwhelming. We will work with you. For those individuals or families, please contact Lauren Lamboy,
llamboy@sjjcc.org
. For those who continue to support us, our membership fee will be considered a tax-deductible donation. Please contact Deb Wiener,
dwiener@sjjcc.org
for more information.
But also remember this, your continued membership enables us to continue to serve not only you, but the most vulnerable amongst us. Since our doors closed, 2,170 lbs of food has been collected and disseminated to those facing food insecurity, every isolated senior is receiving a check-in call,
our participants with special needs engage in daily routines, activities to keep those in our adult day programs stimulated, individual and group support to those requiring the help of a social worker, and virtual discussion groups and exercise classes for those diagnosed with cancer - your dues are providing thousands the connection needed amid these days of social distancing.
Sid Jacobson JCC staff have thrown convention out the window. 9-5 is a thing of the past. Listening to what you need, developing virtual support structures, innovation, and impact are now our watchwords. Stay with us. Enable our community to thrive together, zoom by zoom, call by call, helping hand by helping hand. One heart by one heart.
