“Jewish family services (jfs) provides a continuum of support for people of all ages and backgrounds throughout the greater capital region and has for over 170 years. Clients seek jfs services for trusted support and guidance and are met with both compassionate and professional care to ensure they remain independent and confident in their current positions, access community services and resources, maintain their quality of life, and stay connected. The community turns to jfs's dedicated team for mental health resilience, aging-in-place support and essential needs programs. Each of these three pillars are managed by licensed and professional staff, with funding through individual and corporate philanthropy, grants, contracts and fees. Mental health resilience services are provided for individuals and families of all ages and backgrounds including special initiatives for youth, teens and older adults, specialized occupational therapy for emotional wellness and pastoral care. Aging-in-place programs include information and guidance, benefits and health care advocacy, holocaust survivor assistance, home safety assessments and modifications; social, education and wellness programs and friendly visitation. Essential needs services include transportation to medical and personal appointments, food security through home delivered meals and grocery shopping and food and housing security assistance. Jfs does what it does driven by jewish values, not because all clients are jewish. In fact, 2/3 of jfs clients are not jewish. Clients span all ages, with 3/4 over the age of 60 and come from all ethnic and racial backgrounds reflective of the capital region communities. Many clients served have limited incomes and reside in lower-income housing. Jfs seeks and welcomes philanthropic support to ensure all clients can be served, regardless of financial capacity and is grateful to its many donors who enable jfs to continue its tradition of providing the best in compassionate human services.”
