Bernadette joined the JFJ team in 2019 as our Communications & Development Manager.  She may hold one job title but wears many hats as she works alongside the JFJ communication team. Her positive outlook and cheery disposition are contagious and an inspiration to her team.

She is often the delightful voice calling donors to thank them for their help and the one her team seeks compassion and support from as they navigate the many seasons at JFJ. Bernadette is a faithful and devoted team member at JFJ Hope Centre. Her commitment and desire to help families shine through in each email she sends! You will be hard-pressed to see a day where she is not smiling or sharing a laugh!

Bernadette spends many hours connecting with donors, seeking grants and planning fundraisers to support the programs and services at JFJ. You can often find her typing (and smiling) under a pile of paperwork! Bernadette’s journey to JFJ is unique! She came to our building because of a sweater order and, ever since, has been dedicated to our mission.
