As part of JASA’s 50th anniversary celebration in 2018, we are honoring exceptional seniors, volunteers, donors and staff members through the JASA Heroes Series. The series will feature two “unsung heroes” each month who have made – and are making – JASA the go-to agency for New York’s older residents.
We are excited to recognize these important individuals so critical to our success, as we reach this impressive milestone. Looking ahead to the next 50 years, JASA remains committed to providing older adults with essential services to keep them independent, safe, healthy, and engaged.
