About Us
Jewish Family Service of Atlantic & Cape May Counties (JFS) encourages strong families, thriving children, healthy adults, vital seniors, and strong communities. With dozens of program areas, we specialize in counseling, mental health services, homeless programs, vocational services, adult and older adult services, and also host an on-site food pantry. We impact more than 15,000 lives throughout Atlantic and Cape May Counties each year.
In keeping with Jewish values and the spirit of tikkun olam (healing the world), JFS provides services with integrity, compassion, respect, and professionalism regardless of religion, race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, age, or background.
JFS envisions a future where families are strong, seniors are cared for, children are safe, and everyone has access to the human services they need to thrive. JFS is Atlantic and Cape May Counties’ most trusted provider, partner, and advocate for our neighbors.
JFS provides services with integrity, compassion, respect, and professionalism.
JFS’ person-centered services emphasize the decision-making, input, and inclusion of people with lived experiences. We provide individuals with a platform and opportunities to apply their own insights, share personal experiences, and engage in advocacy. This empowers them to help enhance our services, guide the agency’s direction and focus, and promote the development of more effective public policies. At the individual level, our staff works collaboratively with our clients to set goals and determine the services they will receive.
