A friendly reminder to our agency friends: 

The JFCS Friends Campaign needs your support more than ever to maintain our programs and services during these difficult economic times!

Did you know that 80 elderly or home-bound community members received a delicious prepared Thanksgiving meal delivered by our board members and volunteers through our Holiday Meal Program, and that JFCS distributed more than $40,000 worth of food items this past year?  JFCS has given away a total of $310,000 worth of free and subsidized services, including food, counseling services, senior services, financial assistance with housing and utilities, and special needs services this year.

If you haven't done so already, please make your tax-deductible gift to our annual Friends Campaign.  Click here to make an online donation.  Or mail your donation to:
