ANNUAL COMMUNITY SERVICES TOUR, WEDNESDAY, MAY 7

In the morning, we toured the CENTER FOR FOOD ACTION facility in Englewood, where we saw how the volunteers packed the bags with food. We learned about the process that takes place in order for clients to receive food and other necessities.

After lunch, we visited the SWIM-IN PROGRAM at the Kaplen JCC in Tenafly.  Swim-In is a therapeutic water exercise program for people with multiple sclerosis. The program is co-sponsored with the National Multiple Sclerosis Society
