    NOW IS THE TIME TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT

    Walking in solidarity with refugees who have endured the unimaginable, we recognize the strength it takes to begin again.

    By walking together at Walk a Mile in My Shoes, we send a powerful message: we see you, we welcome you, and we will not stop providing support to those who need us. Your participation helps JFS continue to provide essential resources— housing, employment support, and community connections—so that every newcomer, no matter when they arrived, has the opportunity to thrive.


    WIN A FULL-SIZED AUSAR THOMPSON SIGNED PISTONS BASKETBALL + $200 DOORDASH GIFT CARD!

    The registered participant who raises the most funds for Walk a Mile in My Shoes will win a full-sized Ausar Thompson signed Pistons Basketball, as well as a $200 DoorDash gift card!

    Anyone raising $500 or more will be entered to win a $200 DoorDash gift card.

    JFS' critical initiative provides: 
    • Arrival assistance and placement
    • Intensive case management
    • Youth and women's empowerment services
    • Health and behavioral health services
    • Nutrition support through our Nourish Nutrition Services
    • Entrepreneurial business development and training through our Micro Enterprise Development programs
    • SO MUCH MORE!
    We are still actively serving resettlement clients, as assistance does not stop after 90 days, often extending to years of service.

    HELP US BRIDGE THE GAP AND CONTINUE PROVIDING ESSENTIAL SERVICES TO OUR NEIGHBORS IN NEED.

    Join us by registering to WALK a mile in our clients shoes and fundraising along the way*!
