Our Services 

Affordable Mental Health Counseling

Increasing equitable access to mental healthcare services for all community members is an important part of JFS’s mission, Counseling is offered on a liberal sliding fee scale; however, more than 75% of clients receive services at less than the minimum cost of $25. No one is turned away for lack of ability to pay. JFS also has native Spanish-speaking licensed mental health clinicians to us to provide linguistically and culturally-informed services and effective outreach to the Latine community.

Older Adult Services & Caregiver Support

JFS’ older adult clients promote independence and healthy aging in place through care planning and management, family support, information and referrals, needs assessment, service coordination, friendly visits, transportation, and other support services. The goal is to promote general well-being through a model of coordinated care, prevent pre-mature placement in long-term care facilities, help individuals age in place, and support family members and caregivers as they cope with the challenges they or their aging loved ones face.

Emergency Assistance Program 

JFS’ Emergency Assistance Fund is a cornerstone of the Safety Net Program. This fund provides one-time emergency financial assistance of up to $500 to clients who are facing temporary financial shortfall, and need help with items like a rent or utility payment, car repair, healthcare expense, etc., so that they can stay housed, put food on the table, stay employed, and keep the lights on as they work to navigate through crisis and attain stability.

The Alex & Sally Lebwohl Food Pantry

JFS serves over 10,00 individuals each year. The pantry is stocked with a variety of nutritious foods including nonperishable pantry staples, baby formula, and fresh foods whenever possible. Clients can access the pantry 5 days a week for nutritious food, personal care and household items, and baby supplies including formula and diapers. Food is provided in accordance with family size; and no documentation, proof of income level, or other requirements are necessary to access food. 

THANK YOU for your generous support of Jewish Family Service!
