Together We Can Make a Difference!

Together we can make a difference helping those in need…

A little help goes a long way. Did you know that...
  • In addition to food that is donated, JFS spends an extra $86 a month to feed a family of four facing hunger?

  • The average amount of money that JFS pays for one month’s rent and utilities to help a family of four is $950?

  • The average cost for four counseling sessions at the JFS Counseling Center is $440?

You may not be able to help these individuals or families on your own, but as a group, we can erase hunger, poverty, homelessness, and other challenges faced by many.

Think about it…if 10 people donate $10 each, we could feed a family of four for a month. If 100 people donate $10 each, we could provide rent and utilities for a family of four for a month.

Please contribute through our Facebook Cause and spread the word to your friends to help us meet our goal of raising $1,000 by June 30, 2009. If you cannot give financially, please consider giving of your time. JFS has numerous fulfilling volunteer opportunities. Please contact Nancy Benyamin, director of volunteer resources.
