This Passover, Jewish Family Services is proudly launching Kupah, our new community care initiative—and what a meaningful beginning it is already off to. Thanks to an incredible group of volunteers with the backing of your donations, we will deliver 28 kosher Seder meals to individuals across the Des Moines and Ames area who might not have otherwise had the chance to celebrate with friends or family.
These meals aren't just about food—they are about connection, dignity, and making sure no one in our community feels alone during the holidays.
We’re just getting started! If you’re interested in being part of future Kupah projects and helping us meet real needs in our community, we’d love to hear from you.
Reach out to JFS Director Karen Michaeli at 📧 [email protected] to learn more.
Let’s keep building a stronger, more caring community—together.
