We are thinking of you during these unprecedented and frightening times. As you know, since 1896, the Jewish Federation has been here to meet critical needs and keep our community safe and secure.
In these early days, here’s how we are helping so far:
-
We are accelerating our next funding allocation to community agencies, including to Jewish Family Service, the Mayerson JCC, and JVS Career Services, so they can continue to serve the most vulnerable among us. In addition, we are looking into emergency funding for our partner agencies.
- We will be launching a “COVID-19 Hotline,” where people can call to let us know if they could use help with food, counseling, job services, home care for older adults, or could just use a friendly phone call. We are here to help. (JFS professionals will provide information and referrals to organizations that can help.)
