Hineni: Here When You Need Us

135 Years of Showing Up

For 135 years, JF&CS has been showing up for individuals and families across our community because we believe that no one should have to navigate life’s hardest challenges alone.

Our work touches every stage of life, offering a safety net built on compassion, expertise, and connection:

  • Support for Caregivers: Providing vital respite, guidance, and relief for families navigating the complex demands of caring for aging or ill loved ones
  • Mental Health Counseling: Delivering therapy rooted in understanding, respect, and cultural connection to help people heal, grow, and build resilience for children, teens, adults and older adults
  • Disability Services: Fostering independence, inclusion, and dignity for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities
  • Financial Assistance and Case Management: Offering direct, emergency relief that steadies families during times of crisis and puts them back on the path toward long-term stability

Why Your Support Matters Now

Showing up for our neighbors requires more than dedication; it requires resources.

The reality of human services today is that insurance rarely covers the true cost of compassionate, comprehensive care. Government funding falls short of meeting the growing needs in our region. To bridge that gap and ensure that no one is turned away when they need help most, we rely on the strength of our community.

When you support JF&CS, your gift isn’t just charity. It is a promise.

It is a promise that when someone you love, work with, or live next to faces their darkest hour, they will not have to face it alone. It is a promise that our community will always have a trusted place to turn. It is a promise that we will continue to answer hineni for one another: today, tomorrow, and for generations to come.
