Honoring the legacy of Donald Love, z"l, the Jewish Federation of Southern New Jersey established the Love Impact Awards to celebrate those in our community who follow in Don's footsteps of volunteer work. Don was an innovator and always looked at how programs could make an impact in our community. The Love Impact Awards will honor local volunteers whose meaningful service has made a lasting difference in Southern New Jersey, just as Don’s lifetime of dedication and volunteerism did.The Love Impact Awards celebrates award recipients across our Five Areas of Impact - Older Adults, Disability Services, Global Connections, Community Engagement, and Family & Youth. These Areas of Impact and their related programs and services offer comprehensive support to all ages and to the diverse needs and interests of our community. This year, we have added a sixth award, The Love Legacy Award, to celebrate Legacy Giving, which is essential for sustaining the programs and services across all Five Areas of Impact. Legacy Gifts help ensure our community will thrive for many years to come. We hope you will join us to honor the local volunteers whose work has made a lasting impact in the Southern New Jersey Jewish community.
