JFS is still looking for individuals, families and organizations to adopt a Bubbe or Zadye in our community who are struggling to pay for food, rent and medical expenses – necessities of life, leaving no money left for anything extra. That’s where JFS and you step in.
- Volunteer Options:
- Adopt an older adult for Hanukkah
- Donated gift cards are needed from the following retailers: Wal-Mart, Target, Hy-Vee, Price Chopper and Hen House.
- JFS will also accept cash donations to make last-minute purchases. Monetary donations may be made by mail or online by clicking here; checks should be made payable to JFS Hanukkah Project. Donations are tax deductible.
- Assist at the gift wrapping party, which will take place on Monday, Dec. 12 in the Social Hall at the Jewish Community Campus between 4 p.m and 7 p.m.
- Deliver the gifts to the homes of older adults on Dec. 15, 16 and/or 19.
You can make the Festival of Lights brighter this year for a Bubbe or a Zadye through Jewish Family Services’ Holiday Gift Project.
Please bring all gifts and/or gift cards to the JFS office at the Jewish Community Campus, 5801 W. 115th St., Suite 103, through Monday, December 5. Make someone’s Festival of Lights even brighter this year – volunteer! To do so, please contact Anna Feldman at JFS, at (913) 730-1452 or afeldman@jfskc.org.
