Showing their commitment to giving back, the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia’s NextGen members spent their Sunday morning on May 21 with the Jewish Relief Agency (JRA), a grantee of the Jewish Federation, packaging and delivering food and essentials for those in need.
"Volunteering at the Jewish Relief Agency was an amazing experience,” said NextGen Board Member Brittney Tuff. “By delivering food boxes to JRA recipients, I was able to directly see the difference the Jewish Federation's support of JRA makes in the lives of so many people."
