Health Fair

The Shorefront Jewish Community Council (Shorfront JCC) is deeply committed to improving the health and well-being of underserved seniors in South Brooklyn. We foster community solidarity and improve access to healthcare through extensive mobilization of local organizations, pharmacies, home care agencies, and volunteers all working together for a common goal.

We were proud to recently organize a highly attended health fair on the boardwalk, with active participation by numerous organizations, where seniors were able to get their blood pressure measured and learn information critical for their health, accompanied by uplifting live music and free coffee.

Our seniors greatly enjoyed an opportunity to both socialize and learn vital information, while enjoying a day on the beach.

I came to the United States in 2004. My wife passed away and my only child still lives in Russia. Bela helps me with any issue I have. I often am not able to leave the house and in those cases Bela comes to my home to help me with whatever I need. Without her help I would not be able to stay in my apartment.
