Volunteer:​​
The JCS KFB serves more than 400 families, 70 Holocaust survivors and 225 children annually. KFB recipients are able to select from non-perishable staples and canned goods, fresh produce, meat and frozen items. They ‘shop’ during pre-arranged, scheduled appointments to ensure privacy and confidentiality.
I volunteered my time to build a brand new web-based inventory system. I worked with their staff to identify the issues with the old system, designed the new solution, coded it, and trained the staff on how to use it. I plan to stay involved even after I go to college to support them remotely.
