At every age, at every stage, Jewish Family Service is here to help, offering over 40 programs and services to benefit every member of the family. YOU can truly make a difference by helping to support our vital work in the community.
JFS was established in 1861. Supporters who provide a minimum gift of $1,861 from July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025 can join the JFS 1861 Society. This special group enables JFS to serve our clients and community with professionalism and compassion as we have for the past 160 years. All members will be recognized on our website, at all fundraising events, in select eblasts, in our annual report, and more!
