Jewish Family Service

Jewish Family Service is 150 Years Old!   

Jewish Family Service (JFS) is celebrating its 150th anniversary of caring for all Utahns. Since 1872, this nondenominational agency has served the most vulnerable in the community by helping people who are in a rough spot in their lives maintain stability and independence. JFS of Utah started 24 years before Utah’s statehood as the Hebrew Women’s Benevolent Society. Through 150 years, and one name change, Jewish Family Service has continued the work of these founding women. Whether offering affordable mental health counseling in both Spanish and English, granting emergency funds to families facing homelessness and other devastating crises, providing resources and comfort to older adults and their caregivers, or stocking our food bank to keep Utah families fed, JFS provides a comprehensive and holistic system of care for the many needs of its clients.

Help us help others this year with:

• Emergency financial assistance and the Alex & Sally Lebwohl Food Pantry so families can stay in their homes and have food on their tables.
• Older adult and caregiver support to help with transitions in aging.
• Affordable mental health counseling and wellness workshops to better handle stress, anxiety, and depression, and cope in challenging times.
