We’re proud to recognize our October JFS Dallas Volunteer of the Month, Sarah Lerner!

Whether she’s restocking shelves in our Food Pantry, packing Kosher Home-Delivered Meals, assisting with administrative projects, or lending a hand at our Holiday Market and other events, Sarah brings kindness and dedication to everything she does. Her commitment to serving others reflects the Jewish value of Tikkun Olam, repairing the world, and helps ensure individuals and families in our community feel supported at every turn.

We’re grateful to celebrate Sarah and all those who generously give their time and care to our community. Thank you, Sarah, for all that you do!

For children, therapy doesn’t always happen sitting in a chair and talking.

At JFS Dallas, dedicated play therapy rooms and a sensory gym give clinicians tools to help children regulate their emotions, express themselves and make progress in ways that meet them where they are.

See how these spaces are helping transform behavioral health care for our youngest clients: https://jfsdallas.org/blog/six-months-of-play/
