Throughout her life, Jennifer “Jeni” Doherty was a person who enjoyed life to the fullest, yet always found time and energy to give of herself to others. She would not waste an opportunity to speak to anyone she met and engage them in conversation about herself and her passions in her life. She was an accomplished and passionate educator who took pride in working in an inner-city public school district and who always found ways to connect with her students. Jen was also a committed and loyal member of her teachers’ union and its executive committee where she selflessly gave up a lot of her free time to help and advocate for her fellow teachers and staff. After a devastating burn injury in 2012, which had her hospitalized for several weeks, Jen became a peer support volunteer who helped other burn survivors with their recovery and adjustment to life after burns. In honor of all of Jen’s accomplishments, her hard work, her spirit and all the adversity that she overcame throughout her life and all that she unselfishly gave of herself to so many, we aim to continue her good deeds through The Jeni Fund.

Help Overcome Food Insecurity
We recently joined with friends and provided food to 12 local families facing food insecurity, ensuring they had the nourishment they needed to get through difficult times. These accomplishments are a direct result of your generosity.
Due to the success we had in helping members of our community and because of the need to help more people, we are currently seeking donations specifically to provide food to even more local families in need. With your continued support, we can ensure that no one in our community has to go without the nourishment they deserve.
If you would like to help, please consider making a donation to support our hunger drive. Every contribution—big or small—makes a meaningful impact and brings us one step closer to reaching our goal. All funds collected in this drive will go to purchasing food for those in need.
