SPOTLIGHT ON...

Christina Goddard

Christina Goddard has been volunteering with JFCS East Bay for the last 16 years.

"My parents...have their own story of coming to this country. They were sponsored by a stranger who wanted to do the right thing."

"I’m so appreciative of JFCS East Bay’s openness to people of all cultures and religions. The desire to...care for the refugee is regardless of whether these people are Jewish or not, and I really appreciate that. There are no strings attached, just acceptance."
