What People Say about JFS SV
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Knitzvah volunteers for the lovely handmade blankets, baby hats, sweaters, hats, and scarves which you donated recently to the Children’s Shelter. It is so overwhelming to see such generosity for the children which we serve.”
-- Marianne Pritchette, Children’s Shelter Association of Santa Clara County
“JFS did a great job with Kids Mitzvah Day. The kids were supervised and fed, instructed and supported. Some parents stayed, others took the time to do other things. It was a win-win all the way around! We look forward to the next Kids’ Mitzvah Day.”
-- Dodi Friedenberg
“I highly encourage parents to have their kids volunteer and/or volunteer with their kids (through JFS). I think every family should experience that feeling of giving and sharing. My kids were very happy to see the joy and happiness they brought to so many that day. It was a fun experience for them - one that they proudly talked about for a long time.”
-- Orit Ido-Sirkin
