Center for Family Assistance

mom and sonsThe Center for Family Assistance (CFA) is a comprehensive resource for low-income individuals and families. We develop a comprehensive plan for each unique situation. CFA seeks to prevent or mitigate hardships, maintain good health, foster independence, and promote financial self-sufficiency. Many of those served are unemployed or underemployed, single parents, immigrant families, people living with disabilities, people struggling with an acute or chronic illness, victims of domestic abuse, and families facing homelessness. 

The ultimate goal of our service is to give people the tools they need to become self-sufficient and meet their basic needs independently. Our professional staff is dedicated to providing confidential and dignified services and finding effective solutions. CFA has helped thousands of people through difficult times in their lives.

Our Services Include

"I wanted to thank you and your staff for all the support and generous donations. If it was not for JF&CS we would probably be living in our car right now. We are so grateful to your organization and some day we hope to repay the kindness, support, and help your organization has provided to my family. Thank you for everything. We will never forget JF&CS as long as we live."
