Kaplen JCC Holds Intergenerational Mitzvah Day

Participants in the JCC Senior Adult Department, young adults with special needs from its Guttenberg Center for Special Services, and children in the JCC Early Childhood Department all collaborated on a special intergenerational project to support the Jewish Federation of Northern New Jersey’s annual Mitzvah Day. The groups spent hours together assembling 500 individual snack packs that contain juice, milk, cereal, mac & cheese, nutria-grain bars, applesauce and more that were later delivered to the Center for Food Action in Englewood for underprivileged children left without adequate nutrition on weekends and holiday breaks. Everyone who participated enjoyed a great lesson on how rewarding it feels to do something good and helpful for others in need.
