In a year when the need in the community is greater than ever before, JFCS of the Suncoast increased its impact on families and seniors during its 2020 Adopt-a-Family/Adopt-a-Senior program. Donors contributed toys, clothing, shoes, bicycles, books, gift cards, home furnishings, and more to over 300 children and 150 Aging Services clients of JFCS. Donations to date have been valued at more than $60,000. “It was humbling to see so many generous donors in the community come together to brighten the holidays for more than 300 children,” said JFCS Director of Community Outreach Karen Pharo. “This year has been extra challenging for everyone. It warmed my heart when calling a recipient to let her know we had gifts, clothes, shoes, toys, and gift cards for $300 in groceries. She cried and said it was perfect timing, as she was at a friend’s house grabbing food from their pantry because they did not have any.
