This is how community comes together...JFCS was able to make a special mobile pantry stop at Millstone River School, open to all West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional School District families in need.
This was made possible with:
🤝The collaboration the district's DEI office,
🛍️West Windsor Plainsboro Education Association and Mercer County Education Association - New Jersey providing reusable bags,
💰 A recent donation from Orangetheory Fitness West Windsor,
🥣 And Millstone River School students collecting 168 cereal boxes for their Read Across America drive to donate to our pantry!

March is Social Work Month! We're celebrating our social workers through the lens of "Uplift. Defend. Transform." the theme of Social Work Month 2026.

Social workers in our counseling department uplift their clients with individualized therapy and care, guiding them through emotional turmoil.
Social workers on our senior team defend the interests of their clients, serving as support, advocate, and a listening ear.
The values of social work ripple across our agency, transforming lives with help, hope and healing each day.
