VOLUNTEER PROFILE 
Teen Connects with the Elderly
JF&CS volunteers are a diverse group, but the one thing that unites them is their desire to help others. Usually we think of this as an adult idea, but the seeds of empathy can be planted at a young age.

EVENT RECAP
Celebrating Together
On March 21, seniors, volunteers, and JF&CS staff gathered to celebrate Passover. It was a joyful time to gather, sing traditional songs, recite prayers, and eat together.
