What's NEW at JFS:
What Will Be Your Good Deed During the High Holidays?
With the High Holidays approaching, now is the time to reflect on the past year. Jewish people will come together to count their blessings, ask for forgiveness and make amends, offer prayer, and perform good deeds. At the same time, it is important not to forget people still struggle to have a roof over their head and food on the table. You can help those in need. Donate to the JFS Friends Campaign this High Holiday season.
Jewish Family Service Friends Fundraising Campaign - Every Donation Helps Someone in Need
At JFS, staff and volunteers take pride in helping more than 13,000 people annually in the region. For some, that means providing nourishing food, basic essentials, and baby supplies. For others, JFS assists with counseling, vocational services, supportive housing, older adult programs and more. Regardless of the need, JFS is here to help.
