A weekly e-newsletter from JFS of Middlesex County

JFS is a non-profit social services agency serving all members of the community from all backgrounds. Your generous support enables us to provide crucial programs for those in need.

A Call for Peace

May the voices of peace and compassion rise above those of conflict, and the pursuit of harmony transcend the boundaries that divide. We stand against terrorism and pray for the lives of innocent civilians.

Supporting Families in Need

JFS Kosher Food Pantries are a vital lifeline for families in Middlesex County, offering crucial support to those facing serious challenges like homelessness, job loss, and underemployment. JFS pantries offer families hope and stability, ensuring they have enough to eat and essentials to make it through the day. Take Mrs. A, for instance—a remarkable individual currently caring for both her children and elderly parents within one home. Her family reached out to JFS for help, where we were happy to provide both sustenance and a comforting assurance that, in our community, support thrives, and no one walks this journey alone.

Your donations to JFS Kosher Food Pantries ensure we are able to help the increasing number of families coming for food, ensuring that our diverse community has enough to eat. Help us make a difference by donating non-perishables, spreading the word about our food drive, or making an online contribution. Together, we will not forget those in need.

Special Thanks To:
