For 90 years, we've worked to overcome the biggest challenges facing the Jewish people. We founded and built the State of Israel, and we continue creating links globally—bringing Jews to Israel and Israel to Jews.

Jewish Family Service LA (www.jfsla.org) is an ‘extended family’ that welcomes and serves people of all ages, ethnicities and religions with compassion and caring. Established in 1854, JFS is proud to offer a family of services for people in need. These nationally recognized services counsel and support individuals and families, helping nearly 100,000 people each year in the greater Los Angeles area. JFS provides food and shelter, connects people with disabilities to vital resources, and helps relatives and friends care for loved ones, young and old. JFS counsels families in crisis, and at-risk children through school based programs. JFS provides safe shelter for homeless families, as well as for abused women and their children, and helps them create independent lives. The families JFS serves have evolved over the last century and a half, but JFS’ mission to strengthen and support families has never wavered.

Our mission is to build flourishing Jewish communities that are healthy, safe, caring, welcoming and inclusive, educated and engaged, active in civil society, and connected to global Jewry and Israel. Jewish Federations are the central communal address in nearly 400 Jewish communities across North America. Our dedicated, creative, and passionate professionals work daily to make our communities and the broader world stronger, more vibrant places.
