Our Impact

“As a single mom struggling to balance work and family, finding suitable clothes for job interviews felt like an impossible task. The RAK PAK Clothing Closet provided me warmth and support that extended far beyond clothing. They helped me select pieces that not only fit my needs but also restored my confidence. Thanks to Goodman JFS, I have the support I need to succeed.”

“Goodman JFS helps keep me and my wife alive. We would not be able to function independently without the services the Holocaust Survivors Assistance Program provides us. Our Care Manager is amazing and has become part of our family. Thank you for everything.”

“Goodman JFS has been a lifeline for me and my child. We would have had to choose between medicine and food if it wasn’t for The Dorit & Ben J. Genet Cupboard!”

“Because they took the time to get to know me, I was paired with an amazing therapist who is a perfect fit for me. I’ve seen several therapists before with other agencies and I have never clicked with someone as much as I do here. I feel very heard and understood in session. My therapist is very attentive and very easy to talk to.”

“The love, care, respect given to me by the staff at Goodman JFS each month is more than I appreciate. Being a shut-in without transportation and barely any money, the food deliveries from The Dorit & Ben J. Genet Cupboard help me to survive. Thank you!”

“Thank you for being my support, morally and financially at times. Goodman JFS is like my extended family and I’ll be forever grateful for helping me get through those difficult times.”

“Last week, the RAK PAK Clothing Closet of Goodman JFS contacted me about a pair of Tallit (prayer shawl) that was donated. I had a client that had asked for one recently. When I gave it to him, he immediately started crying. It was beautiful and heartwarming to watch. Through our wraparound services, I was also able to connect him with the Dorit & Ben J. Genet Cupboard for assistance with food insecurity.”

“My name is Scott S., I was referred to Goodman JFS for help in the most trying time of my life. What they have done for me is nothing but a blessing. They saved my life in every way and for that I am truly grateful. I have never met someone who is so dedicated to helping and caring, which I was so desperate for. I will never forget what was done for me, it saved my life. Thank you for everything.”

“Hello, everyone, my name is Diamond, and I am part of the BOOST Program. When I first came into the program it didn’t take me long to talk to everyone as I love to make new friends. I felt happy and safe with the people around me. Later on, I started experiencing some negativity that soon dissipated because of the awesome people around me who supported me and the activities we all performed. I love socializing with my friends and going out on outings every Thursday. Thank you for making this the greatest experience of my life.”

“I just received a bed thanks to Goodman JFS. They did it very quickly. I now have a bed in my room, it’s a miracle. Thank you very very very much. I don’t know how to say more than thank you, I appreciate it.”
