Join Us

Our annual Community of Caring Luncheon is a chance to connect with the JFS family — friends, supporters, volunteers, and staff — and hear about our life-changing work in the community this year. Together, we can transform our world by extending kindness, dignity, and unwavering support to those who need it. A minimum donation of $180 per guest is suggested.

Please RSVP by Wednesday, April 23, 2025 to save your seat!

It is not what one says, but rather what one does, that makes all the difference in the world.
