Drop-off your donations at the JCC from April 16 to 27, or volunteer to sort items and make heartfelt cards at the JCC on April 27. Find out more about the items that are most needed and/or register to volunteer. Every act of kindness counts!

PJ Library®  hosted a wonderful Passover Simcha Series celebration in a welcoming and neurodiversity-affirming environment, led by Special Educator Andrea Scharfstein. Participants had the opportunity to engage in play-based, holiday-themed learning that sparked creativity and exploration. The thoughtfully designed spaces featured hands-on activities, including a fun "Build a Pyramid" station, allowing children to immerse themselves in the traditions of Passover. 

Happy early Pesach!
