Our Mission

We enhance the quality of life for members in our South Jersey Jewish community with disabilities. These individuals should have the opportunity to achieve their highest potential and lead independent and fulfilled lives.

Our programs and services create a welcoming, supportive, and safe space for those living with disabilities and their families.
