In honor of Hanukkah, Chi Eta Phi sorority sister Dawn collected goods and arranged latke bags for Holocaust Survivors that were hand-delivered by our Senior Case Manager, Stacy Ocko-Lulkin. These bags contained the ingredients to make latkes, a dish traditionally made for Hanukkah.

We are grateful for this partnership and compassion that helps to support our community! Thank you to Dawn and the Chi Eta Phi Sorority Inc. Kappa Eta Eta chapter for your kindness this holiday season ✨🕎

holiday wish list 🎁
✔ Support workers
✔ Strengthen communities
✔ Fix the nonprofit contracting system

Governor Hochul, your signature on S.7001 / A.7616 can help make that all real!

New York’s nonprofit sector delivers critical services – housing, mental health support, education, childcare, elder care, workforce development, and so much more – every single day.

Yet our organizations and workers continue to operate under impossible contracting processes that delay MILLIONS of dollars in reimbursements and make it nearly impossible to serve the New Yorkers who rely on us.
S.7001 / A.7616 – sponsored by Assemblywoman Amy Paulin and Senator Shelley Mayer – offers practical, overdue improvements that will fix these broken systems and finally allow our sector to focus on mission instead of bureaucracy.

Let’s end the year on a high note. Let’s start 2026 even stronger.

Governor Hochul! Sign S.7001 / A.7616 TODAY.

Cookies + Community = The Perfect Recipe! 🍪

Last Sunday, JFS Orange organized a cookie decorating fundraiser with Lisa Bedosky from Momma B’s, a local small business owner who offered to teach our participants how to decorate some amazing fall-themed cookies. With a class of about 30 participants, we were able to connect with our community and embrace the upcoming holiday season together over delicious treats!

JFS Orange would like to extend our warmest thanks to Momma B’s for instructing such a fun class, and to Mulberry House Senior Center for allowing us to use their space for this event! 🍂🍁
