We are excited to introduce Stewart F., our September Volunteer of the Month. Stewart volunteers at the Weinberg Food Pantry, helping clients shop and ensuring community members have access to nutritious food and essential hygiene products.
Suzanne and her partner were eager to move to Colorado to be closer to her sister, who just had a baby. Finding a job proved challenging for Suzanne until she learned about JFS’s employment services and met with a career specialist. Then, she went from having four interviews in seven months to four interviews in a week with Gabe’s help.
We are excited to introduce John C., our August Volunteer of the Month. John volunteers to help recently resettled refugees navigate their new lives in Colorado. Helping with important tasks like housing, applying for documentation, and providing support and guidance to ensure they have all they need to settle in.

“Having JFS [KidSuccess therapists] located within the school building has allowed students access to therapy who would struggle or be unable to access therapy outside.”
