This year, Jewish Family and Child Service's (JF&CS) Annual Campaign is ambitious in both scope and purpose. As our community faces rising costs, growing needs, and ongoing uncertainty, JF&CS remains a vital source of stability, responding with sustainable, long-term solutions.

​

In 2012, a visionary gift helped launch the Striving to End Poverty (STEP) program, laying the groundwork for what is now our comprehensive Poverty Reduction Programming. Our innovative model integrates financial empowerment, housing support, food security, and employment services. The evidence-based strategies we use help individuals and families rebuild their lives and create a more secure future.

​

In challenging times, stability can unravel quickly. A job loss, a health crisis, or an unexpected emergency can push families into financial hardship. That is why our work matters. Ethan’s story, featured in this year’s campaign, is a powerful example of how these supports come together to create lasting change. His journey reflects the resilience of those we serve and the tangible impact of a community that cares.

​

Grounded in Jewish values and strengthened by community, JF&CS continues to lead with empathy, insight, and determination. Thank you for being part of this journey.

​

Together, we are reimagining the way forward.
