JFS December Gift Basket Program - Embrace a Family

In our Embrace-a-Family Program, we match families in need with families, people or groups in the community. Embracers provide toys, clothes, staple food, gift certificates, etc. for the family, enabling them to have a more joyous holiday. Many of these families will not have Chanukah or Christmas without this program.

Donate Gifts or Gift Certificates
Donate new, unused toys, other gifts, grocery scrip and/or gift certificates that we can use to create holiday baskets. Cash donations are also greatly appreciated for last minute gift purchases for families.

We Could Really Use YOUR Help!
The December holidays are approaching quickly and we need embracers for hundreds of families. We will provide you with a description of your family, names and ages of children, and their holiday wish list.
