Ferd & Gladys Alpert Jewish Family Service hosted a back-to-school barbecue bash at Okeeheelee Park in West Palm Beach for participants of the organization’s Mentoring 4 Kids Program. Kids from Palm Beach County spent the day doing crafts, playing games, and having their backpacks filled with school supplies.
The participating kids are all part of Alpert JFS’ Mentoring 4 Kids Program, which provides role models for a child who has lost a significant caregiver through death or divorce. The free, nonsectarian program is meant for children and teens between ages 6 and 14.
Event partners included Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County, the United Way of Palm Beach County, and Children’s Services Council Palm Beach County.
