Aging is a natural part of life, and at JFS, we strive to create a community where aging is supported, yet many people don't learn about available resources until they face a crisis. Conferences on aging help challenge common misconceptions about growing older and highlight the many ways people can remain active, engaged, and independent as they age.
We are excited to introduce Ruth L., our July Volunteer of the Month. Ruth volunteers as a Community Table Lunch Companion, helping serve nutritious lunches to older adults and providing them with an opportunity to share a community meal with their peers.
The JFS Community Resource Fair is an in-person event that features a variety of community partners and is designed to provide helpful information about JFS programs and services and beyond—all to benefit individuals and families within our community.

“From the minute we met with their staff until today, we have received exceptional services for my brother. From job coaching to benefits counseling to his recent engagement with the day program, everyone has been so professional and kind.”

“Having JFS [KidSuccess therapists] located within the school building has allowed students access to therapy who would struggle or be unable to access therapy outside.”
