Jewish Family & Children’s Services recently received a $1.2 million donation from an anonymous supporter, according to the nonprofit organization.
The donor gave the money as an unrestricted gift, meaning the organization can spread it among a number of different initiatives. Those include the Harvey Kornblum Jewish Food Pantry, counseling services, child abuse prevention, assistance for the elderly and chaplaincy. The money will go to the JF&CS endowment, and the organization will then draw a percentage from it each year, according to Laura Robbins, JF&CS chief development officer.
