Making a difference in our community


Welcome to JCares – Where Community, Compassion & Collaboration Come Together

We’re gearing up for an exciting fall 2025 season filled with fresh initiatives and meaningful opportunities to give back. JCares is your gateway to making a real impact—through programs supporting education, senior care, individuals with special needs, and more. Whether you’re looking to volunteer, earn service hours, or connect with others in our community, there’s a place for you at JCares. Join us as we launch new projects and continue to strengthen the heart of our J. If you have any questions please reach out to Lesley Wechter at lwechter@dpjcc.org  

We’d love to have you on our team! Fill out the JCares Volunteer Form and join us as we kick off exciting new projects and spread kindness throughout our community—one good deed at a time!   

Upcoming JCares meetings
Thursdays at 10:30 AM in the Lippman Room at the DPJCC on: January 15, 2026; February 19, 2026; March 12, 2026; and April 16, 2026.


OUR NEXT JCARES PROJECT!

Help us brighten the holidays for the children of JAFCO by fulfilling a Hanukkah wish from their personalized Amazon list. Each child’s name, age, and gift wishes are included to make giving simple and meaningful. Click the link below to choose a gift and spread some holiday joy. Thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity!

DONATE A GIFT


A huge thank-you to our wonderful volunteers and GAP participants who shopped for our Senior Lunch Friendsgiving baskets, our JCares volunteers who packed them with care and all the community members who donated a basket. It was a wonderful event. 💛
