JFCS is concerned for families who are adversely affected by the federal government shutdown.
The longer the shutdown goes on, there is likely to be greater financial and emotional stress. In addition to federal workers, those relying on SNAP (food stamps), tax refunds, or other federal benefits may be unable to receive these to make ends meet.
JFCS is here to help.
We can provide supplemental groceries, and our family counselors and career specialists can offer emotional support and career guidance to those who are affected by the shutdown. We also can help navigate additional community resources. Please contact us by calling 502-452-6341.
