Jewish Family Services (JFS) invites the community to support its annual Hanukkah Project by donating gift cards.
This initiative provides more than 300 Jewish individuals facing challenges with the opportunity to receive Hanukkah gifts. This year, Hanukkah begins Wednesday evening, Dec. 24.
Providing gift cards for JFS to present to its Hanukkah recipients provides them with flexibility to shop for what they most want and need. Gift cards should be to Target, Walmart or Amazon.
Those interested can also donate to JFS, which will purchase the gift cards on their behalf. Donations can be made online, sent by mail or delivered to JFS offices at the Jewish Community Campus or at JFS’s Brookside office at 425 E. 63rd St., Kansas City, MO 64110. For checks, “Hanukkah Project” must be written in the memo line. Gift cards must be dropped off by Nov. 27 at one of JFS’s two locations.
The JFS Hanukkah Wrap Party will take place on Monday, Dec. 9 from 4:30 to 6 p.m. in the social hall of the Campus. Volunteers are needed to wrap gifts for clients. To register for the wrap party and for opportunities to sign up for gift delivery, email .
