It's your last chance to donate to Holiday Helpers! Don't miss this chance to help make this holiday season a little brighter for JFS families.

Our clients have shared that gift cards from stores like Target, Walmart, and ShopRite make a big difference. They are able to buy food, clothing, and household essentials in one place. If you prefer, gift cards from similar retailers are also welcome! Think places where families can stretch their dollars and meet everyday needs.

Please have your Holiday Helpers donations to JFS by Monday, November 24 to give our families some time to shop before the holidays.

If it is easier, you can always give money, instead, and we will be happy to purchase gift cards in your name. If you would rather give an actual gift, we will be including a game for each family.

Drop off checks, gift cards, new card or board games to JFS, or purchase online and have them shipped directly to: JFS Holiday Helpers | 99 Passmore Rd, Wilmington, DE 19803

𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐟𝐟 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭: Kanyah Woods joined our Cancer Care Connection team in July after earning her Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from Widener University in May. Since then, she’s jumped right in—helping manage our public program, joining community partnership meetings, volunteering on weekends for outreach, and taking on every assignment with enthusiasm.

On top of all that, Kanyah has been diligently studying for her LMSW, and we’re thrilled to share that she passed her exam in early October! She’s now officially a Licensed Master Social Worker and well on her way to becoming an LCSW. Congrats, Kanyah!
