MISSION STATEMENT:


Jewish Family Service provides counseling and social services to support individuals and strengthen family life. Based on traditional Jewish values of social responsibility and concern for all members of the community, JFS serves those in need without regard to race, religion or the ability to pay.

“Our growing counseling program helped a record number of individuals and families last year. JFS offers a full range of services, including support groups and individual and family counseling.

Our clinical and support staffs are second to none. They are the highest caliber of professionals and they bring to their jobs every day an extra measure of commitment and devotion. I am proud to be part of this wonderful team.”
