A huge thank you to the local letter carriers who participated in the USPS Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive this past weekend. Thanks to your hard work and the generosity of our community, 1,723 lbs. of food was collected in the 14618 zip code to support Brighton Food Cupboard, surpassing last year’s total of 1,431 lbs.

We’re also so grateful to the volunteers who helped pick up and sort donations to make sure this food reaches neighbors facing hunger. Thank you for showing up for one another and our community in such a meaningful way.

Middle age can be a surprisingly complex season. While it may look like a time when life is settling, it often brings new emotional challenges alongside growth and pride. For many, stress, uncertainty, or a quiet sense of loss can surface. But midlife is not just about what changes, it is an opportunity to reconnect with parts of yourself that have been waiting to be rediscovered.

Every day, social workers show up for people in some of life’s most challenging moments. They listen without judgment. They advocate when systems feel overwhelming. They help individuals and families find stability, connection, and a path forward.

During National Social Work Month, join us in thanking the thousands of social workers across the country who uplift and transform lives. Because of social workers, people are able to access care, remain safely in their homes, and move forward with strength and support. And we are especially grateful for the dedicated social workers at JFS Rochester.

Through The Counseling Center at JFS and our Aging Care Management programs, our staff social workers support individuals navigating mental health challenges, help older adults maintain independence and dignity, and walk alongside families facing complex transitions. Their work is not always visible, but its impact is felt every day across our community. Because of them, our community is stronger, more connected, and more compassionate. Thank You!
