Building Connections: Volunteer Appreciation & Diversity Event Highlights

DECEMBER 8, 2024

The First of Many: Celebrating Our Volunteers

We recently hosted a volunteer breakfast, thanks to the generous hospitality of a wonderful Greenwich family. This special event allowed us to connect with the amazing people who make our work possible.

Volunteers are the heart of everything we do, and we’re so grateful for their support. This breakfast is just the first of many to come, and we look forward to planning more gatherings in the future.

If you’re interested in volunteering, email the JFS Volunteer Department today!

AJC Westchester/Fairfield Annual Diversity Breakfast

JFS thrives on the diversity of our professional team, board of directors, and clients! Thanks to long-time JFS board member Peter Furth, JFS was invited to the Annual Thanksgiving Diversity Breakfast with the American Jewish Committee of Westchester/Fairfield titled "Breaking Down Barriers," changing perceptions through engagement. Attendees heard from the interfaith community before moving into deeply impactful conversations with moderators at each table. Rachel Kornfeld, CEO said, “The AJC created a safe space for people to actively listen and share deeply personal thoughts about race, religion and acceptance - a truly inspiring event!”
