Parkland Cares

The Jewish Federation of Broward County’s assistance has made it possible for Goodman JFS to broaden its services to the Holocaust survivor population, The Cupboard, financial assistance, Joshua’s Path, domestic abuse and behavioral health services. 

For over 80 years, United Way of Broward County has helped the community to tackle the most complex, critical challenges and create long-lasting positive change. Thanks to their support, we have help clients with emergency financial needs including assistance with food, rent, utilities and more for seniors, families and individuals throughout Broward County.

Founded in honor of all those impacted by the Parkland tragedy of 2018, Parkland Cares has granted our BHAB program with the funds to help provide nearly 9,000 hours of quality mental health services to community members affected by trauma.

The Masarek family is dedicated to easing the path to those who are struggling with mental health issues. Their personal journey has provided the impetus and funding to the establishment of The Jeff Masarek Fund for Mental Health, in memory of Mike Masarek’s brother Jeff.  Their contribution to this endeavor is formidable and will allow BHAB to provide more families and individuals seeking help to receive it.
