JFCS of Northern New Jersey celebrates its volunteers
Jewish Family and Children’s Services of Northern New Jersey celebrated its volunteers at its first annual Volunteer Appreciation luncheon, held at Care One at the Cupola in Paramus on April 3. Volunteers gathered for an afternoon of education, socialization, entertainment, and glatt kosher food catered by CareOne in Teaneck. The program was a token of appreciation for JFCS’s 200+ volunteers, who are committed to improving the lives of people in need. The volunteers provide essential support, ensuring that JFCS is the mental health and social safety net for our community.
The luncheon kicked off with CPR training, led by Doug Tobin of Metropolitan Medical Corporation; it was funded by the Sephardic Foundation on Aging. Participants learned infant, child, and adult CPR.
JFCS CEO Susan Greenbaum and Jennifer Van Dam, CareOne at the Cupola’s director of sales and marketing, were among the speakers. The day ended with an origami lesson by JFCS volunteer Ilene Kahn.
JFCS appreciates all that the volunteers contribute and was grateful for the opportunity to honor them. Its volunteers are integral to how JFCS serves the community, with its Kosher Meals on Wheels, Friendly Visitor, Telephone Reassurance, Cooking Companion, RAISE, Corner Market Food Pantry, and ClubEd After School programs. The volunteers provide thousands of hours of valuable services and allow JFCS to operate effectively and efficiently.
