The Jewish Family and Children's Service celebrated their 160th birthday

Some families celebrated a milestone in Philadelphia Wednesday.



The Jewish Family and Children's Service celebrated their 160th birthday at the Please Touch Museum in Fairmount Park.



They invited all of their foster and adoptive families for some crafts, story time, and some cake too.



JFCS began in 1855 as the first Hebrew orphanage in the country.
