Besner/Shible Kosher Food Pantry
The Besner Shible Kosher Food Delivery Program provides supplemental kosher food once a month to senior clients of JFS. This is a 100% volunteer driven program that allows volunteers to share the very special value of sharing food with those in need.
Jewish Healing Center
Jewish Healing combines ancient tradition with modern tools to provide spiritual support for individuals as they struggle with life’s greatest challenges.
Gemilut Hasadim
Gemilut Hasadim, (Acts of Loving Kindness), is a short-term financial assistance program that helps the neediest in our community in times of crisis. Each day JFS provides help with food, rent, utilities, prescription medication, and other basic necessities which helps ensure the dignity of our elderly and sustains individuals and families throughout Broward County.
Seniors In-Need
For so many who have no one, or nothing to fall back on, JFS can help. JFS qualifies each individual, identifies the needs, and can call landlords, FPL, local pharmacies and a variety of service providers to make arrangements to help with critical problems, such as electricity and phone shut-off notices. More importantly, when assistance is needed, such as temporary home care, cleaning services, applications for Medicaid or other government programs, care managers can provide assistance.
Holocaust Survivor Assistance
Funded through a grant from the Conference on Material Claims Against Germany, the Jewish Federation of Broward County and the Jewish Community Foundation of Broward County (JCF), the Holocaust Survivors Assistance Program reflects a deep commitment to assist the aging population of survivors to receive the care they need. As the elderly population in Broward County continues to grow, our goal is to ensure that our survivors are able to age in place, with basic comfort and dignity.
Domestic Abuse Program
Clothesline Project
Clothesline is a joint project between Jewish Family Service and Downtown Jewish Center Chabad which provides children with new clothing or gives gift cards to families who find they are unable to purchase clothes or shoes for their children.
