Thanks to an extremely successful JBoost campaign, 120 seniors in the local Jewish community received emergency preparedness boxes this year.
According to Neal Drobnis, coordinator of Kosher nutrition at Jewish Family Service, the fundraising goal was set at $2,000. In the end, the project raised nearly $3,000, including a $1,000 contribution from Ocean State Job Lot. Teens from J-Space helped pack boxes as did seniors from the Kosher Café at the Dwares JCC. Boxes included emergency supplies such as batteries, flashlight, peanut butter, shelf-stable snacks and first aid supplies.
