Jewish Federation of Southern New Jersey

The Jewish Federation family of agencies has been hard at work these past few weeks ensuring that the critical needs of the community are met during this pandemic: 

"Just seeing your envelope in my mailbox brought a calm over me. And then to my complete surprise when I opened the envelope, there was not one card, but two! Prayers answered! Without your gift card, I would not have had the money to pay for and get my medicine. Miracles like this take my breath away - in a good way! Just know that I am forever grateful." - JFCS client

"I was able to get the family I was assigned to everything on their list and when after speaking with the mom, Tracey, I learned she had an 11 year old son. I added apple juice, cookies and ice cream to the list! The drop off at the curb gave me the opportunity to still say hello from the door. A sweet family. I was humbled and privileged to help." -Suzanne, Shop & Drop Volunteer 

My client received the food and was in tears. She called me to make sure that she hadn't gotten someone else's bags because there was so much food that she couldn't believe it was all for her. She became emotional on the phone and just said: "[these kindnesses] continue to just show me how many good people there are in the world."

"The JFCS has given me a reason to go on. I try to give back to the JFCS community in any way I can. I so appreciate the ShopRite card, I cried.”
