We help people with food, housing, and job-related insecurities. We are inclusive and provide counseling, lifelines, and essential services to anyone in need.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of former JFS Board President, Mitchell Gurwicz, on April 12, 2026.
Mitchell led JFS with dedication, integrity, and compassion during his tenure from 2012–2015. His commitment to JFS did not end with his presidency—he remained a steadfast supporter of our mission, generously giving his time, guidance, and care to our community in the years that followed.
Mitchell’s legacy lives on through the many lives he touched—both within JFS and beyond. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, loved ones, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.
May his memory be a blessing.
