It’s A Wrap

Jewish Family and Children’s Service (JFCS) is seeking groups and individuals to help sponsor and spread joy to families in need this holiday season by participating in the annual JFCS holiday program It’s A Wrap, the only program in the Phoenix area that serves families for both Chanukah and Christmas.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED:

Interested individuals should complete the online form at https://www.jfcsaz.org/donate/ by November 30.  Financial donations to the program will also be graciously accepted.

Questions should be directed to Jayne Plotkin at 602-567-8334.

JFCS clinicians identify families with the most need and compile a brief “wish list” for each. The clinicians match these families with generous sponsors.

Sponsors receive a wish list sharing details about the family and instructions for wrapping the donations at home and dropping off the donations at Martin Pear JCC on Dec. 4. All gifts are tax deductible.

On the day of the event, JFCS staff and volunteers will be waiting curbside to take items from your car. Masks will be worn by all staff and volunteers.
