Jewish Family Service was full of gratitude for the overwhelming support they received from the community in honor of the 2022 Heart & Soul Gala. Together, guests raised an unprecedented $1.4 million to sustain the life-changing work of Jewish Family Service of San Diego while honoring community leaders, Marcia Hazan and Danielle and Brian Miller.
