Block 1

When Lauren and Jason moved here with their two children, they wanted to be involved in the Jewish community. They wanted thier kids to appreciate their Jewish heritage and the importance of giving back to the community. Unfortunately, money was tight so Federation was able to secure scholarships for the two children to enroll in Jewish school and summer camp at the Mandel JCC. The family continues to give back by volunteering in our community.

Block 2
