The Center administers three national service programs, including Foster Grandparents, the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP), and Senior Companions, along with Meals on Wheels and a senior transportation program known as J Ride. The 135 Senior Companions and Foster Grandparents volunteers provided 122,873 hours of service to community organizations last year in the form of tutoring and mentoring 886 at-risk youth and providing companionship to 282 isolated seniors along with respite for their caregivers. Last year 858 RSVP volunteers provided 80,154 hours of service among 125 nonprofit and public agencies across an 18-county service area.

The JCC Meals on Wheels program is the fourth largest provider of hot meals in Harris County and served 770 seniors in our community this year. Meals are delivered by 120 volunteers in addition to paid drivers. Meals include holiday, shelf-stable, and supplemental weekend meals to those clients who are most food insecure. By receiving food at home, the clients are able to maintain nutritional health, receive daily contact with another human being thereby decreasing isolation, and maintain a sense of independence and dignity, thereby delaying nursing home care. The J Ride program provides safe, reliable, non-emergency transportation for adults age 60 plus and adults with disabilities. 2,300 rides were provided this year. J Ride was created in collaboration with Jewish Family Service, Jewish Federation of Greater Houston and Goldberg Bnai Brith Towers.In addition, the Center provides a variety of social, educational,
