Since July 2023, Robert Gore has supported numerous JFS programs, including the mobile food pantry, JCC food deliveries, transportation assistance, and hands-on help across the Yana Vishnitsky Refugee Resettlement program. Bob’s impact goes far beyond the hours he gives, and we are excited to introduce him as our 2025 Denver Volunteer of the Year. 

We are excited to introduce Sandi R., our August Volunteer of the Month.

For the past two years, JFS has proudly partnered with Graland Country Day School as part of its Grade 6 service-learning program. Through this innovative interdisciplinary curriculum, the sixth-grade students explore and learn about poverty, homelessness, and food insecurity in their math, English, science and history and art classes.

We are excited to introduce Terry L., our March Volunteer of the Month. Terry volunteers to support adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

We are excited to introduce our February Volunteer of the Month, Pat H., who volunteers in the Weinberg Food Pantry and at the Reception Desk. In these roles, Pat helps ensure members of our community have access to nurtirious food and hygiene items and helps greet individuals, answering questions and helping them find the services they need.

We need enthusiastic and knowledgeable volunteers to serve as guest presenters for our employment training classes and workshops. Volunteers will share their expertise with our clients, helping them gain the knowledge and confidence they need to navigate the ever-changing job market.  What a fun way to support JFS and our community members! 

We are excited to introduce our January Volunteer of the Month, Joe L., who volunteers as a para-chaplain and friendly visitor volunteer in the Boulder community. In these roles, Joe helps strengthen the connection between Jewish residents living in non-Jewish senior residential facilities and the Jewish community by arranging and leading religious services for Shabbat, High Holy Days, Hannukah, and Passover. Additionally, his friendly visitor volunteer role helps older adults by providing companionship to individuals facing loneliness and isolation.

We are excited to introduce our December Volunteer of the Month, Alan Y., who volunteers with our adaptive bike program during the summer months, helping people with disabilities increase mobility, enjoy the benefits of improved physical and mental health, build social connections, work on bike and safety skills and have fun in their community. When not volunteering as an adaptive bike companion, Alan volunteers at JFS Altius Farms and with our Arts and Community Exploration program, helping with honey bottling.
