Events

The tradition of showing public appreciation to JCS volunteers began prior to 1998, when JCS was still a program under the auspices of the existing Jewish Federation. Since 2002 JCS has broadened the celebration to include donors, volunteers, and the general public as a way of involving the entire Jewish community.
