46 | MARCH 23 • 2023 

Members of JARC’s Board 
of Directors, along with 
community volunteers, 
visited JARC homes on 
March 6 and 7 to deliver 80 
care packages of food and 
small gifts for the people 
JARC serves in celebration 

of Purim. This is the second 
year that volunteers of JARC, 
a nonprofit organization 
serving adults with 
developmental disabilities 
in the Metro Detroit area, 
have made surprise deliveries 
in celebration of the joyous 

holiday of Purim. The people 
JARC serves were excited to 
receive the gifts, interact with 
the volunteers and enjoy their 
goodies.
During the week prior to 
the care package deliveries, the 
people JARC serves also had 

the opportunity to celebrate 
Purim by attending a virtual 
baking class led by JARC 
CEO Shaindle Braunstein. All 
attendees made and baked 
their own hamantashen, one 
of the most widely held food 
traditions on Purim.
