About Helping Hands

The Helping Hands Committee provides JLEP members with opportunities to respond to immediate community needs and increases JLEP’s visibility in the community.

• Supported Roots & Wings by donating AirPods to their Virtual Gala silent auction and sent birthday cards enclosed with Target gift cards to help celebrate 21 young adults in need.
  
• Collected over $800 for Diaper Awareness Week run by Moms Helping Moms Foundation, a New Jersey Baby Supply and Diaper Bank.
