JFS is a non-profit social services agency serving all members of the community from all backgrounds. Your generous support enables us to provide crucial programs for those in need.

The Importance of Connection

Studies show that a lack of human connection has adverse effects on our physical and emotional health. For seniors who live alone or without a supportive community, strengthening interpersonal connections can be a means of improving quality of life. JFS' Lunch with Friends, a weekly congregate meal program for seniors over 60, offers a nutritional meal while creating a warm, friendly space to gather with new and old friends in the community. 

Having an interactive, supportive program like Lunch with Friends can help seniors stay active, engaged and healthy. We recently caught up with husband and wife, Flo and Burt (pictured), attending Lunch with Friends in Highland Park, who were eager to sit and enjoy a hearty meal among their growing community of friends. They enjoy "meeting and greeting everyone" and the "big meals" help them stay nourished.

Lunch with Friends offers more than just a tasty meal – it is a way to promote well-being for seniors today and in the future. Senior adults interested in joining JFS’ Lunch with Friends in Monroe Township or Highland Park should call 732-777-1940 or email us at office@jfsmiddlesex.org. If you know a senior who would benefit from this program, ask them to contact us today for more information.
