we build acaring community

our community needs us. now.

We’ve saved JeWish lives around the World for decades. We’ve established a nation.noW, suddenly, the crisis is here -in the community We have built together.

Whether we know it or not, every one of us has a family member, a friend or a neighbor who struggles to survive the most devastating economic downturn in generations. The initial jolt—a business collapse, a breadwinner’s unemployment, a debilitating illness or unexpected death—gives way to waves of aftershocks: home loss, food insecurity, family conflict, withdrawal from communal life as Jewish affiliation and education become unaffordable.

throughout time, JeWs have alWays taken care of one another.

Jewish Federation & Family Services will ensure that every community member has a Jewish option in every facet of life – humanitarian services, education, leadership, social action and more.
