Every day, JFS helps individuals and families find stability, dignity, and hope.

JFS is here to ensure that none of our clients go hungry. Thanks to you and our generous community, we can act quickly and address our clients’ urgent needs. When government aid falls short, we step up together. We are giving $150 grocery gift cards to the nearly 1,400 clients who have the greatest need for food assistance.

There is still a lot of uncertainty about federal funding and government programs over the new few months. Our social safety net has been fraying for years and, as we’ve seen lately, it could snap at any moment. What will go next – low-income housing assistance, Medicaid, or social security? Help us prepare for whatever comes next.

Give today to help ensure Holocaust survivors and Jewish elders, people with cognitive disabilities, survivors of trafficking and other vulnerable youth, unpaid family caregivers, survivors of domestic violence, people who have experienced an unexpected financial shock, refugees, and immigrants don’t go hungry.
