Thanks to all who “stepped up to the challenge” by donating to JFS Orlando’s Restock + Restore Challenge, which raised more than $23,000. That means, with every $1 matched $0.50 by The Weiner Family and The Winter Park Wealth Group (up to $10,000), JFS surpassed their match goal and raised a grand total of more than $33,000.

The community’s support is helping JFS restock their Pearlman Emergency Food Pantry, and also restore the Greater Orlando community through its other programs, like counseling and medical transportation for seniors and disabled adults.

A special thank you to the Challenge match sponsors, The Weiner Family and The Winter Park Wealth Group. Thank you also to the many community partners who participated in the Challenge, including Congregation Beth Am, Congregation of Reform Judaism, The Rosen JCC, The Roth Family JCC, and Temple Israel.
