JFS SV Emergency Fund for COVID-19 Relief!

 We need YOUR support, more than ever! 

 

We invite you to support our JFS SV COVID-19 Emergency Relief Fund 

so that we can continue to assist and protect our clients who are impacted by this pandemic. We have strengthened and increased our services addressing financial instability, access to food, mental health, and isolation. Our success depends on YOUR support.

 

Your gift helps people like our client "LR"; a stressed and anxious man in

his mid-fifties. LR lost his job, and faces a great deal of economic hardship - along with fear of contracting the virus. Our counselor Sandra provides financial aid, ongoing counseling and support - and in LR's words, "saved his life."  

 

Even though JFS offices are closed, our staff is working hard from home, everyday to provide ongoing support to our clients:  

• We deliver prescription medications and groceries to Holocaust survivors, Chai House residents, disabled adults, newly arrived refugees, and isolated seniors

• We provide hand-sewn masks and caps from our Knitzvah volunteers to medical professionals and others providing essential COVID-19 relief

• We connect unemployed adults with employers  

• We explain housing and payment rights during this unique time to refugees and others

• We connect isolated seniors through phone buddies, counseling and specialized technology

We need your help RIGHT NOW!  

Please be our partner and you, too, can help save lives.

 

JFS SV has set up a special GoFundMe donation page , to make it easier to donate and assure that all funds go to helping during this difficult period.

 

Any donation, big or small, will bring help and support to many needy people in our community.  Thanking you in advance.
