Giving Back For Back to School

JFS Middlesex gives special thanks to Jessica Solomon (right), the Director of the Jewish Heritage Museum of Monmouth County, for her recent donation to the Women’s Center’s Back to School drive. She enthusiastically jumped in to buy school supplies, encouraging others in her organization to participate. To Jessica, “it’s important to help those in need. Something that seems small to us like school supplies can be so major for kids.” She hopes that her contribution will help kids feel prepared and happy as they enter the new school year.

The Women's Center helps displaced homemakers and their families address barriers to economic sufficiency. The Back to School Drive is one way JFS helps families ease the stress of preparing children to return to school. To make a monetary donation or to drop off essentials, or to find out more about the Women's Center, contact us at 732-777-1940 or womenscenter@jfsmiddlesex.org.

Youth's Impact Goes a Long Way

On August 12th, volunteers from Impact Youth Club (IYC), a student-run youth volunteer group, stopped by JFS to pack bags for our annual Back to School drive. IYC members helped JFS pack 170 bags for families registered for this year's Back to School event.

As part of its mission, IYC strives to lead or connect with charitable giving projects that serve the community. JFS thanks co-leads, Miah and Allie, and the entire group for their support and we look forward to future collaborations!
