Holocaust Survivor Services
Holocaust Survivor Services
Aviv Older Adult Services offers a host of services and social events for Holocaust Survivors and their families. We offer everything from social programs like Café Europa, counseling, and One Good Deed to help the emotional and social needs of our Survivors, to more practical needs such as case management, reparations assistance, and in-home services.
JF&CS serves as a leading support service for Holocaust Survivors both locally in Georgia, and for the SouthEast Region including, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana and sections of Florida and Texas.
