As the holiday season unfolds, we are scrambling to make sure our local families have enough to eat and at least one gift for their little ones.
Ms. P, the oldest in a large family, faced unique worries about whether her family would have enough to eat. "I come from a family willing to make sacrifices to make things work," she notes, emphasizing the resilience defining her family dynamics. As an undergraduate student living at home, Ms. P expresses gratitude, saying, "My family and I are very grateful to have a place to go for food when we don't have enough. JFS goes above and beyond in showing families they care."
At JFS, we are committed to ensuring families in need not only have enough to eat but also feel the caring touch of their community. As Ms. P navigates her undergraduate studies, she finds inspiration in the empathy and support she and her family have received. "I look forward to paying it forward to other families in need," she states, choosing to pursue a career in behavioral psychology to impact the well-being of others.
JFS' Holiday Gift Drive ensures that local families served by JFS have a special gift for their children at holiday time. We give thanks to our generous donors for contributing to bring more joy and light to the lives of the families we serve: Brandeis Middlesex Chapter, Hadassah at Stonebridge, North Brunswick Domestic Violence Response Team, NB Police Dept., Shalom Club @ Concordia, Shalom Club @ Venue, Ellie Eisenman & Family, Holly Cerame & community, Claudia Scherzer, and WuXi Biologics.
The year is not yet over! There is still time to help families in need. If you’ve had a good year, consider a special donation to benefit families in need of food. Haven’t finished your holiday shopping yet? Pick up a small gift for a child in need – drop it off before the end of the year to bring a smile to a local family. Want us to shop for you? Donate online and we’ll take care of everything. Thank you so much for your continued support.
