JFS has been chosen by The Network of Jewish Human Service Agencies for participation in Year Two of its NJHSA Jewish Poverty Challenge, an offering of the Network’s Center for Innovation and Research. The goal of the program is to help NJHSA member agencies better analyze the marketplace, launch and manage solutions, and implement sustainable measures for success to address the many dynamics associated with responding to Jewish poverty.
“We are thrilled to have been selected for this initiative, JFS has a deep commitment to raising awareness of the issue of Jewish poverty and addressing it in new ways. Since the start of COVID 19 it has become clear that Jewish poverty in our community is both greater and less visible than we previously understood. Through this endeavor JFSWM will be able to more fully identify need, create new resources and facilitate new pathways to alleviating Jewish poverty.” Rosalind Torrey, MPH, JFS Jewish Life Enrichment Program coordinator and manager of the project.
