The JFCS Disability Services Committee presents a free workshop:
What Is an Estate Plan and Why Do You Need One
Demystifying Wills, Trusts, Power of Attorney, and Healthcare Directives
Presented by Jamie Shuster Morgan, Esq.
Fendrick Morgan
Ms. Morgan works closely with clients and their families to provide real-life solutions for their needs. Recognizing that each client and each family dynamic is unique, she strives to help her clients create plans that address their specific situation. Just as no two families are the same, no two estate plans should be either.

Justin Wolfe Memorial Benefit
2023-06-11 17:00 - 20:00 | The Estate at Monroe, 1351 North Black Horse Pike, Williamstown, 08094, United States
Across the country, fentanyl is devastating families and communities: more than 107,000 people in the U.S. died of drug overdoses in 2021. About two-thirds of those deaths involved synthetic opioids – primarily fentanyl. A nearly invisible poison, fentanyl is 50 times more potent than heroin. Just two milligrams of fentanyl – an amount that could fit on the tip of a pencil – is a potentially lethal dose.
Our South Jersey community is not immune from this crisis. Please join Gregg Wolfe on Sunday, June 11 for the Justin Wolfe Memorial Benefit, honoring those individuals who have lost their battle against addiction. This event is underwritten by Gregg so that 100% of the proceeds will benefit JFCS addiction awareness and youth prevention programming.
One more death is one too many. To buy tickets or make a donation, click HERE.
