Jewish Family Services – Birthday Bash

Jewish Family Services’ Birthday Bash celebrated the organization’s 120th anniversary with festivities that included family-friendly activities, hands-on service projects, and a birthday-themed food drive, in addition to a birthday party. The icing on the cake? An interactive performance with Lisa Loeb, the Grammy Award winner! Jenny Isenberg served as the chair. JFS provides essential services throughout Greater Kansas City for people of all faiths, ages, cultures, and identities who are facing challenges in everyday life or in times of crisis.
