Pack Sandwiches & Paint Rocks with JESPY House in South Orange (At Capacity)
Sunday, March 30
1:30 pm - 3:00 pm (EDT)
Join clients of JESPY House (adults with developmental disabilities) for two meaningful projects that encompass the Jewish value of Hachnasat Orchim–welcoming guests, while also fostering compassion and enabling community building.
Participants will make sunflower butter and jelly sandwich lunch bags to donate to Jewish Family Service Central to benefit Union County community members in need, and also paint rocks for Holocaust Memorial Gardens and parks to provide comfort and inspiration.
All materials will be provided.
This event is open to adults and children ages 6 and over.

Security at Federation Events
The Gloria and Jesse Weissberg Community Security Initiative (CSI) is coordinating all security with local, county, and state law enforcement. At every Federation event, all available resources are utilized to ensure your safety. Important items of note:
- Bag policy: Backpacks, luggage, and large purses are not permitted at events. We encourage you not to bring a bag, if possible, or to bring a very small bag. All bags may be subject to search.
- Additional security measures: Additional security procedures may be implemented (e.g. metal detectors) as needed.
- Social media protocol: We ask you not to share the location of a Federation event prior to or during the event and to refrain from posting about a Federation activity until after it has ended, and the site is clear of attendees.
Building an inclusive community is a priority. Please email [email protected] to let us know if you require an accommodation to meaningfully participate in an event. One of our Federation professionals will reach out to you to learn more.
