JEVS Influencers Bring Community and Compassion Together

On April 8, JEVS was filled with laughter, conversation, and an incredible spirit of generosity as our amazing JEVS Influencers came together for a special evening of connection and giving back. 

One of the highlights of the evening was assembling toiletry kits for JEVS participants. Each kit was thoughtfully packed with essential personal care items to provide comfort, dignity, and support to individuals on their journey toward stability and success. Small acts of kindness like these can have a powerful ripple effect, offering encouragement and hope when it’s needed most. 

Our JEVS Influencers are more than supporters; they are passionate advocates who help share our mission, strengthen our community, and inspire others to get involved. Their enthusiasm and dedication were on full display as they worked side by side to prepare these kits, knowing each one would make a meaningful difference. 

We are deeply grateful to every JEVS Influencer who joined us and contributed their time, energy, and generosity. Your commitment continues to make a lasting impact on the lives of our participants and strengthens the sense of community that makes JEVS so special. 

Inspired by this impact? Join us in making a difference. Whether you volunteer your time, become a JEVS Influencer, or support our programs through a donation, your involvement helps change lives. Together, we can continue building a stronger, more supportive community. 

JEVS Volunteers Pack 250 Backpacks for Students

JEVS Volunteers came together for a back-to-school service project, packing 250 backpacks filled with essential supplies for the children of JEVS participants. These backpacks will help students start the school year prepared and confident—something every child deserves.

Attendees enjoyed light refreshments and a chance to learn more about JEVS, including a screening of our new Grow with JEVS video. Then, with music and great energy, the group rolled up their sleeves and got to work assembling the backpacks.

A special thank you to volunteers from Comcast, Children’s Village, Rivers Casino, Welcoming Center, Cooper Health, AmeriHealth Caritas, African Family Health Organization, Campbell’s, Janney Montgomery Scott, and PA CareerLink®, whose teams helped pack the backpacks.

We are grateful to everyone who volunteered their time, including one of our board members. Thanks to their efforts, 250 students will walk into classrooms this fall ready to learn and thrive.

Ranee Shipley, Volunteer Manager shared, “these events are a great way for folks from the community to learn about JEVS programs, meet with other members of the community and give back at the same time. We are grateful for everyone who volunteered their time to help us pack these backpacks for the children of the individuals and families we serve.”
