More than 500 attendees enjoyed an afternoon of strolling through six stunning homes in Longport and Margate during the 33rd Annual Jewish Family Service House Tour.

The event, sponsored by Surroundings Interiors, raised $60,000 to benefit The Lynn Kramer Village by the Shore at JFS program which provides essential transportation, care coordination, meal delivery, and socialization for adults (50+).

At JFS, we were delighted to host the popular House Tour after a two-year hiatus. Attendees enjoyed an exclusive look inside Downbeach homes which featured state-of-the-art kitchens, ornate fixtures and hardware, beautiful dcor, breathtaking views, and more. We are thankful to the homeowners who graciously opened the doors to their residences for this agency fundraiser, said Andrea Steinberg, JFS Chief Executive Officer.

A special thanks to the House Tour committee Rene Kane, Hope Morgan, Hanna Newcomer, Jodi Reece, Sarah Rosenthal, Beth Shor, Pam Sinderbrand, Michele Sloane, and Lesley Weinberg who organized the successful event, ensuring guests and homeowners alike had a memorable experience. In addition, nearly 90 volunteers dedicated their day to help make the fundraising event a success.

More than 70 VIPs took the tour to the next level with door-to-door transportation, priority entry into the homes, and gift bags.

House Tour VIP sponsors included Avalon Flooring, Cooper Levenson, and The Novelli Team. As part of the fundraiser, Oasis Property Group served as the Lunch sponsor and attendees enjoyed a delicious selection of food offered by Essls Dugout and TacocaT food trucks.

In addition, attendees enjoyed shopping and picked up information and goodies from Pop-Up sponsors Island Builders, Sothebys International Realty, Sunset Outpost, and Willis of Pennsylvania. Also, each home featured on-site sponsors so attendees were able to interact with kitchen designers, architects, and builders.
