February is National Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month. Dating violence affects more young people than we often realize—but together, we can change that. This month, JFCS is helping to raise awareness, educate, and empower teens and young adults to recognize what healthy love looks like. Because real love is safe, supportive, and respectful. 💜

Today we remember the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust and honor the lives, stories, and resilience of those who were lost.

We remember. We mourn. We commit to never forgetting—and to standing against antisemitism, hatred, and injustice in all its forms.

💙 VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT: Meet Emily G. 💙

Emily first connected with JFCS in 2020, delivering kosher meals to homebound seniors during the pandemic. One Thanksgiving delivery led to a simple act of kindness—a birthday card and flowers for a client celebrating alone—that blossomed into something truly special. Today, Emily is a devoted Friendly Visitor, sharing monthly visits, phone calls, texts, family photos, cookies, crafts, and lots of love with her “adopted grandma.” From grocery drop-offs and tech help to rides, holidays together, and even the occasional cat nail trim, Emily goes above and beyond.

As one JFCS staff member shared, “Emily feels like family to her client—and she truly makes a meaningful difference.” We’re so grateful for volunteers like Emily who turn small moments into lasting connections.

So inspired by the 4th Annual Moorestown High School L.O.V.E. Fair! Teens explored volunteer opportunities, social justice causes, and the powerful contributions of Black Americans—while connecting to The King Center’s 2026 theme, Mission Possible II.

So many meaningful connections at the 4th Annual Moorestown High School L.O.V.E. Fair! Students explored local volunteer opportunities, engaged with social justice causes, and learned about the lasting contributions of Black Americans to our communities—all while reflecting on The King Center’s 2026 theme: Mission Possible II - Uniting a Nation. Building a Future. The Nonviolent Way.

We loved seeing teens learning, asking questions, and finding new ways to get involved!
