At this year’s event, JF&CS will recognize five individuals or organizations who share our mission to care deeply about promoting community, housing, access, and independence (CHAI) for people of all abilities.
Our community is blessed with many who support and embrace our clients and others with disabilities; foster their growth and independence; give them opportunities to live full, meaningful, and independent lives; and celebrate their accomplishments. We are excited to honor their contributions at our event.
For more information, contact Terri Grogan, Senior Development Officer, at tgrogan@jfcsboston.org.
