JCC: A central hub for community-driven initiatives

The Weinstein JCC has long been a cornerstone of community-driven initiatives, and the success of its 2024 Blood Drive efforts highlights this vital role.

In collaboration with the American Red Cross Mid-Atlantic Blood Services, the JCC hosted four successful blood drives last year, collecting a total of 88 units. The final drive of 2024 exceeded expectations, surpassing the goal by four units and potentially saving the lives of up to 264 individuals.

Central to the JCC’s ability to support these important efforts is its facility rental program, which provides flexible and accessible spaces for local organizations to host a variety of impactful community events. Whether it’s health drives, educational workshops, or charitable gatherings, the JCC’s venues are a trusted resource for those looking to make a difference.

Through the Weinstein JCC’s Building a Bright Future Together capital campaign, these community room spaces have recently been modernized to better accommodate the community’s diverse range of needs. This investment ensures that the JCC continues to serve as an adaptable and welcoming space for a wide array of events and initiatives.

In addition to blood drives, the Weinstein JCC regularly hosts numerous community-centered initiatives, reinforcing its commitment to being a hub for positive change in the region. The center’s mission is to support organizations working to improve the lives of local residents by offering a space that fosters collaboration and connection.

For those interested in hosting events or initiatives at the JCC, the team encourages reaching out to Yeti Yednock at kyednock@weinsteinjcc.org to learn more about how the center can support their efforts. The Weinstein JCC remains a go-to destination for organizations looking to make a lasting impact on the community.
