For grieving children, the holidays can stir up conflicting emotions:
-Missing the person who is no longer there
-Changes in family roles, such as a surviving parent being busier, more stressed, or emotionally overwhelmed
-Feeling guilty for experiencing joy or participating in celebrations
-Fear that other loved ones may become sick or die
-Confusion about how to celebrate without the missing person
-Even small disruptions to familiar traditions can remind children of their loss.

JFS THRIVE is here to support you and your family this holiday season. Learn more here: www.jfsannarbor.org/thrive

We’re thrilled to share that we’ve already raised just over $16,000 today — and we’re so close to hitting (and beating!) our $20,000 Giving Tuesday goal. We need just $4,000 more to get there!

And remember: every single dollar is matched 1:1.
Your $50 becomes $100.
Your $100 becomes $200.

And imagine the impact of $100 going directly to the JFS Nourish Pantry — that’s fresh produce, pantry staples, culturally appropriate foods, and meals delivered to homebound older adults. It’s food, dignity, and relief for families who need it most.

Here’s a short note of gratitude from one of our pantry clients:

“JFS has been a lifeline for my family. The Nourish Pantry helps us get through each week with healthy food we couldn’t otherwise afford. Thank you for caring about families like mine.”

Thank you for helping us feed our neighbors with compassion and dignity.
Let’s close the gap and finish strong! 💛🍎

Holy cow, Washtenaw County — you never stop amazing us! 🐄💙

On this Giving Tuesday, you’ve already helped raise $12,000 toward our $20,000 one-day match goal. That means we’re more than halfway to unlocking critical dollars that will double the impact for families right here at home.

✨ Can we hit $20k today? Absolutely — with you.

Because feeding your neighbor isn’t just an act of kindness. It’s a statement of who we are as a community. When you give to the Nourish Pantry, you’re filling refrigerators, lifting burdens, and making sure no one has to choose between feeding their family and paying their bills.

Let’s keep this momentum going.
Let’s feed our neighbors.
Let’s do this, together. 💛🍎
