How exciting to see our own JABA rewarded with a grant and praised on the USDA blog! JABA is truly leading the way in many different areas. I have mentioned before that my favorite volunteer program is JABA’s Friends in School Helping (FISH). Helping students learn is a wonderful way to keep your brain sharp while participating in an intergenerational effort.
JABA offers many more opportunities to get involved in our local community. Visit the JABA website (www.jabacares.org) for more information or keep up with the latest on Twitter (twitter.com/jabacares)
