Together We Stand
On October 7, Hamas terrorists launched a heinous attack on Israeli civilians. As a Jewish social service agency, our mission is to support the well-being of our community. During a time of crisis, this becomes our priority. We also know that while our doors are open to everyone, we have a lasting connection to our Jewish community. We join others in praying for the peace and safety of our people and community.
JFS is providing a community-wide response to meet the urgent and upcoming needs of individuals fleeing the war in Israel and the local community impacted by the war.
If you need access to JFS services, please fill out this online form. This will help us assess the needs and provide adequate resources for the impacted individuals. This process will help us coordinate with our partners and create a holistic response.
