G-d sent JFS to me. I don’t know what I would have done without you.
JFS has helped me for almost 12 years now. They have helped bring me back to the community and continue to help, lovingly and with respect.
I am extremely grateful for your assistance and compassion!
I would be on the street or homeless if it wasn’t for the services of JFS.
My quality of life has been improved due to the social worker’s help and assistance. She is my guardian angel.
The service you provide with the food pantry is very appreciated. That little added extra means so much to someone like myself on social security.
