JFS CARES ABOUT YOU

Our vision is that no one in our community should suffer hunger, isolation, abandonment, emotional or physical distress, or lack of community support and caring.

PANTRY ITEM OF THE MONTH

It’s flu and cold season so JFS is collecting tissues throughout December for clients of the Community Food Pantry. Donations can be dropped off at JFS during business hours, in the bins at the JCC and Temple Beth El, or ordered through the JFS Amazon Wish List.

PARENT SUPPORT GROUP

For parents with an adult child with a disability

This group will focus on:
· Building connections in a safe, supportive environment
· Providing disability resources for you and your family

Details:
· Meet weekly over an eight week period in person at JFS.
· Each session will be one hour.
· $200 registration fee covers all eight sessions. Financial assistance is available for those who qualify.

Dates and times will be determined based on the availability of participants. Interested? Click the link or contact Amanda Thomas, PhD at accessiblity@jfslv.org.
