The Cost of the Cuts: Protecting Our Community in Challenging Times

We are profoundly disappointed that Congress passed a budget bill that will have dire consequences for our clients, staff, and the broader community of people with whom we work. Most JFS clients depend on Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), programs that are being decimated by this bill.

A JFS Update: A Call to Action

Government cutbacks are threatening essential programs that keep our clients housed and healthy at the exact moment when demand for services is skyrocketing. As inflation and food insecurity surge, our clients are finding it increasingly difficult to make ends meet. Federal policies seeking to bar refugees and immigrants from entering or remaining in this country are putting children and families in danger.

When Fear Turns to Focus

Refugees are at great risk, but many others in our community face similar uncertainty. Attacking the social safety net will impact Jewish adults with cognitive disabilities, older community members who rely on JFS services, and families who depend on our food bank.
