A Message From the CEO to JCCA Staff
Rosh Hashanah
At JCCA, we know well the disruption and trauma that occur in children’s lives because of neglect, abuse, or abandonment. But each year, you, our extraordinary staff, do so much to help reverse the sadness and to begin to offer our young people hope for the future. Your efforts offer renewal and the real possibility of a productive, independent life. The importance of your work can’t be overstated; its impact is immeasurable.
May the New Year and a new season refresh and renew you. Wishing you, your friends, and loved ones health, peace, and well-being.
