Strengthening individuals. Strengthening families. Strengthening community. That’s what Jewish Family and Children’s Services is all about.

Whether it’s help for a major life transition or support for other challenges, JFCS is here for you. We have over 40 programs, including home care for seniors, therapy for children, youth volunteer programs, services for people with disabilities, and much more.

Founded in 1850, JFCS is one of the oldest and largest human service agencies in the United States. We are guided by the Jewish traditions of advancing human dignity for everyone, community responsibility, inter-generational ties, and repairing the world.
