JFCS is helping recruit volunteers for the Camden County Board of Commissioners and the Office of Veteran Affairs to flag approximately 700 Veteran graves at Colestown Cemetery on Thursday, May 21st at 5pm.

If you are interested you can sign up and we can send your information or you can reach out directly to Joe Merimonde with AL 372; his email is grizz52@gmail.com.

There will be no JFCS representation at this event. We are just promoting!

Please join JFCS and the Camden County Board of Commissioners and the Office of Veteran Affairs to flag approximately 1,000 graves at on Friday May 15 at New Camden and Evergreen Cemeteries (9am) and Harleigh Cemetary (10am). Registration is required and space is limited. 

This event will occur rain or shine. Please wear comfortable walking shoes. You may bring a brush to clean off graves and a hammer to help push the flags into the ground.

Perhaps you’d just like to designate one special day a year when you and your loved ones can volunteer together as a family. Or maybe you are a student who would like to do a community service project with your class. We have wonderful opportunities for all ages. One way to do this is by offering your professional expertise (legal, financial, etc.) and conducting no-cost individual consultations to help JFCS clients navigate legal issues or better manage their money. You may also opt to hold your own food drive for our Betsy and Peter Fischer Food Pantries. Similarly, you can hold a gift drive during a holiday season, collect personal care items for our domestic violence clients, or come up with your own special way to make a difference!

Once you become a fan of Bite-Size community wide service projects, you will be notified throughout the year as registration for our events open. Events include:
