Due to staffing shortages, Jubilee Reach has needed to temporarily suspend service for International School effective immediately. The immediate impact is that the next season—flag football—will not occur.

If you know of anyone who might be interested in working for Jubilee Reach, learn more about their employment opportunities.

THIS Tuesday and WEDNESDAY, November 9–10, if you give at least $100, it becomes $200 or more! Thanks to our generous matching fund donors, when you give at least $100 on these two days, they will match your donation up to $31,000. Give online at bsfdn.org!
