JFS takes a holistic approach to assisting families who come to us for help; not only giving them a "hand out" but a "hand up". So far in 2021, our Pearlman Emergency Food Pantry has provided food for more than 81,000 meals; our Family Stabilization Program has helped 95 families fight homelessness and become more self-sufficient for the long-term; our RIDE (Reliable Independent Drivers for the Elderly) Program has provided close to 400 rides for seniors and disabled adults; our Counseling services have provided over 2,000 therapy sessions; and our Community Rabbi has served approximately 600 individuals through a variety of services, including hospital visits and memorials.
