Challenges, Innovation Gratitude - OUR YEAR IN REVIEW: Martin Pear JCC
A message to our
        community
Dear Friends,

What a year it has been! 2020 presented a plethora of challenges
individually and to our community. We were faced with
unexpected challenges, which inspired The J to rapidly create
innovative and relevant ways to connect with our members and
partners in this new normal. With safety as our number one
priority, we took many precautionary measures to ensure that
The J would continue to be the home away from home for many.

In response to the pandemic, we continued to be there to fill
our role as “helpers” and neighbors – to come together to offer
the gift of normalcy and resiliency without fanfare and without
disruption. We are very grateful for the unprecedented support
we received from you, our community – our members, guests,
donors, volunteers, foundations and partners – that enabled us
to continue to fulfill our mission when it is needed now more
than ever. We are determined to build an even stronger and
better future in the year ahead.
