We don’t know precisely what the future holds, but with your support, we can ensure that JFS remains resilient, ready to adapt, and able to continue serving our community’s most vulnerable.Our programs—like WISE Aging Services, Nourish Nutrition (including our Specialty Pantry, Meals on Wheels, and Medically Tailored Meals), JFSGO (accessible, essential transportation), and RISE (Resettlement, Integration, Support & Education)—do more than meet basic needs.
