Support Jewish Family Service

Your support helps JFS meet urgent needs with dignity and compassion while building a resilient and collaborative community where people are welcomed and barriers are eliminated.

Join the Circle of Welcoming

Monthly giving provides JFS with reliable support to respond when people need us most. When food assistance, legal protections, or other supports are reduced or disappear, families can face ongoing challenges—not just a one-time crisis.

As a Circle of Welcoming monthly donor, you help JFS provide emergency food assistance, support with critical legal needs, and flexible assistance when individuals and families face urgent challenges.

Circle members are also invited to occasional Coffee with JFS Leadership gatherings and receive periodic updates about how monthly support is helping people in our community.

A steady monthly gift creates a steady community response.

Your Gift Makes a Difference

Your support helps JFS:

• Provide grocery gift cards and emergency food access for families experiencing food insecurity
• Help clients navigate critical legal filings, including work authorization, TPS, asylum, parole, and green card applications
• Respond to urgent housing, behavioral health, and other emergency needs
• Sustain the compassionate, responsive services that help people move from crisis toward stability

Thank you for helping to bring the mission of JFS to life!
