Tribute Cards

Whether it is congratulations for a special milestone or accomplishment, a wish for a speedy recovery, or remembering a loved one, a tribute card from JFS-LV is a wonderful way to share your thoughtfulness with family and friends. For a donation of $7 or more (the amount is up to you), we will send a lovely card to the recipient of your choice, letting them know of your contribution to JFS-LV. Cards may also be purchased in bulk for a handy supply when occasions arise.

Centerpieces for Tzedakah

tsedakah centerpieces Make your simcha even more beautiful and meaningful. For rental by JFS, these colorful centerpieces contribute to JFS's Food Pantry. In fact, they are a vital cornerstone of support. The centerpieces contain food boxes cheerfully displayed in a basket. They always elicit comment, so that they become not only a centerpiece but a conversation piece as well. We will make labels to go with the basket congratulating the person opr people who are being honored with a bar or bat mitzvah, an anniversary, engagement, wedding, graduation, or other milestone. For more information or to rent baskets call 610-821-8722.
