Looking Back on 2023
2023 was a year for the books! For JFS, it was a year of connection and growth, of celebration and gratitude. As we look towards 2024, the staff at JFS are so thankful for the support we received this year and grateful that we can continue to serve and support our community members as they struggle though life-changing world events or times of everyday need.
We look forward to sharing our annual Impact Report in the spring, but we can’t help but stop and reflect on some of the people, programs, and events that we are so proud of this year. Read more here.
Our pantry is running low on multipurpose cleaner, dusting cloth and dish soap. Please drop off your items in the barrel at the Jewish Community Center and our Brookside location. Don't feel like going to the store? Shop our online Amazon wishlist: https://amzn.to/3XH5v7Z
