Their support assures Village by the Shore services including Kosher Meals on Wheels, transportation to essential doctor’s appointments, virtual socialization and grocery delivery to the 200 seniors who rely on JFS.

The NJ Pandemic Relief Fund, OceanFirst Foundation and Beth Israel Sisterhood are among the generous financial supporters. Thanks to the generosity of our neighbors, the collection bins located at Pleasantville Police Department, Linwood City Hall, Ventnor City Hall and the JFS Margate office are being filled with donations.
