DID YOU KNOW...JCC has 87 active volunteers?

Last year, they contributed 882 volunteer shifts for a total of 2664 hours.

Based on the federal per-hour wage valuation of volunteer time, that equates to $92,556 given in support of JCC's programs and our community! We are SO grateful!

A huge thank you to Lou's Loafs for providing a delicious, cozy lunch that fit our tea party theme perfectly. 🥪🍰
