2023 JFS MAX MICHELSON HUMANITARIAN AWARDEES: Ed Zuker and Chestnut Hill Realty
JFS of Metrowest is pleased to announce that Chestnut Hill Realty (CHR) and their Founder & CEO, Ed Zuker, will be honored with the Max Michelson Humanitarian Award, at Seize the Dream on May 11, 2023, for opening their hearts and apartment communities to twenty-one refugee families since November 2021.
Since 1969, Ed has led an extraordinary company focused on “Managing People’s Homes With Pride,” while growing their apartment home portfolio to 5,000 residential units and 160,000 square feet of commercial space. For full bio, visit JFSMW.ORG
The warmth, dignity and generosity with which CHR has welcomed families, donated to ensure they can afford their beautiful homes and worked with JFSMW and our sister resettlement agencies to help our clients integrate has been unlike any other multifamily property owner.
To save one life is to save the world, and CHR and Ed have partnered with JFS to save over 50 lives by restoring dignity and pride through a beautiful home made available solely because of CHR’s generosity.
In celebration of these extraordinary community partners, this year’s Seize the Dream Gala will be a festive affair with dinner and refreshments provided by over 16 local caterers and restaurants.
We hope you will join JFS in honoring the Milowes, Ed Zuker and
Lino Covarrubias, CEO
