Happy Passover from JFS!

Jewish Family Service and the Synagogue Council of Greater Denver partnered again this year to provide foods needed for a complete Passover Seder to families in need in our community through the Passover Project. Each meal included a kosher chicken as well as other necessary (and Kosher for Passover) items such as matzo, matzo meal, gefilte fish, candles, eggs, and fresh produce. This program is designed to help those families who would normally prepare a Seder for themselves, but at the present time do not have the resources to do so.

Thank you to all of you who answered our call for donations. With your generous support we were able to provide 75 Seder meals to 143 individuals. Also, thanks to all the volunteers who helped pack the meals, distribute them through the Pantry, and deliver them to homebound clients!

In addition, JFS will conduct 28 Passover services in March and April in metro Denver and five in Boulder for socially isolated Jewish adults. The metro Denver services will be for Jewish residents of long-term care facilities, assisted living facilities, a mental health center, and several correctional institutions. The Boulder services will be for residents of five senior facilities. Thanks to all our volunteer para-chaplains who will help lead a record number of services this year!

All of us at JFS wish you and your family a happy and meaningful Passover! To help with your Passover meal preparations, check out these recipes for Haroset (apple mixture) and Banana Passover Cake.
