Mandel House Opens Doors to New Residents 
After six years of working in partnership with the community, we are proud to announce that Mandel House is now open! This groundbreaking project of JFFS is OC’s first Jewish residential home for adults with special needs. This month, Mandel House residents were thrilled to move into their new home. Buzzing with spirit and a renewed sense of community and friendship, residents will have lots of opportunities to participate in Jewish events and cultural activities around OC. Last weekend, NextGen Cares, JFFS' young adult volunteer group, took Mandel House residents on their first outing. Their smiles and laughter showed just how much they enjoyed bowling with these amazing volunteers. |
