The JFCS 38th Annual Benefit
Food * Cocktails * Games * Music
Welcome to a magical evening!
As we celebrate our first Annual Benefit as Jewish Family and Children’s Service of Minnesota, we honor the power of compassion, connection, and caring for one another across the river and across the generations. At a time when connection matters more than ever, JFCS of Minnesota strengthens community by fostering belonging, building trusted relationships, and ensuring no one faces life’s challenges alone.
Join us for an inspiring evening of friendship, celebration, and impact as we continue building a stronger, more connected future together. A livestream option will be available for those unable to attend in person. Most importantly, we will raise critical funds for JFCS. A 30-minute program will include acknowledgement and celebration of our Friends of the Family Award, and the Fund-a-Need.
We gather to support the critical work of JFCS, serving thousands of people each year in our community, our neighborhoods, and our families.
