Make a Donation to JFS


Since 1929, when Jewish Family Service was founded by a group of committed community leaders, a large portion of our budget has been funded by the generosity of donors.


Gifts translate into direct service. The appreciation is read on the smile of the homebound senior who is able to live independently with our help, the contentment of a family who has overcome a strained relationship with our help, the joy of a family no longer childless with our adoption services, the thanks of a family whose parent's life has been saved through our Lifeline/RI program.


To quantify how your gift can make a difference, here are some examples of how you are able to help:


$20 = Emergency food assistance
$25 = One hour of Home Care Solutions
$35 = One month of Lifeline
$75 = One hour of counseling
$450 = One new Lifeline machine

Also, there are many other options for giving including:


  • Endowing a program or a service
  • Contributing to an established fund
  • Giving through our annual campaign
  • Donor option through your United Way contribution
  • Remembering memorials and life cycle events with a donation to the agency
  • Remembering the services that Jewish Family Service provided when a loved one passes away
