JFS is proud to continue supporting our Ukrainian clients through our Welcome to America program, which held its 29th meeting on October 17.

This month’s session featured immigration lawyers from New Haven, CT, who generously shared their expertise and answered important questions about immigration processes. Participants also enjoyed learning about Jewish holidays and traditions, as well as a fun raffle, prizes and delicious food.

We’re especially grateful to everyone who helps make these gatherings possible.

When Mary Kay Lane joined the CAPABLE program, her goal was simple but powerful: to walk into her neighborhood 7-Eleven and enjoy a Slurpee without fear of falling.

Thanks to her hard work, the support of JFS Richmond, Beth Sholom Senior Living and the CAPABLE team, Lane recently achieved her goal. She walked in, got her Slurpee and walked out safely.
