Your help is greatly appreciated.

Holiday Gift Drive:

JCFS is proud to continue the tradition of providing holiday gifts for the children at Knapp School & Yeshiva, and those who receive counseling, respite and other essential support services. To accomplish this, we rely on the support of donors like you. 

Sign up to become a JCFS Holiday Gift Drive donor and help make a child's wish become reality.

  • Fill out the online form to sponsor a child this holiday season.
  • We will match you with a child (or children) and provide you with their wish list.
  • Wish lists will be emailed after October 3rd.
  • Shop! You don't have to buy everything on the list, but we ask that you help us meet our goal by spending $50 per child.
  • Unwrapped gift(s) must be returned to JCFS by November 28th.

Email your questions to WinterProjects@JCFS.org.
