The Jewish Family Service of MetroWest NJ hosted its annual gala at Brooklake Country Club on May 27, uniting community members, supporters, and leaders for an evening of recognition and philanthropy. Guided by this year’s theme, Supporting Today, Strengthening Tomorrow, the event honored people and partners whose leadership, service, and compassion help strengthen the community and uplift those in need. Nearly $175,000 was raised to support JFS programs, including mental health counseling, older adult services, emergency assistance, and support for victims of domestic violence through Rachel Coalition, a division of JFS.
