The Resources You Need. The Compassion You Deserve.

For 160 years, Jewish Family & Children’s Service (JF&CS) of Greater Boston has been helping people build a strong foundation for resilience and well-being across the lifespan, from infancy to old age. By providing a wide array of integrated social services under one roof, we improve the lives of over 15,000 people a year throughout Greater Boston, the North Shore, and the South Shore. 

This past year, JF&CS has: 

• helped more than 3,000 people and 50 synagogues address mental health needs;
• promoted positive development for more than 1,000 young children and their parents and caregivers;
• advanced independence for more than 1,100 people with disabilities;
• helped 4,000 people to age with dignity;
• and provided more than $3.5 million in client assistance and moved more than 2,500 people from economic insecurity to stability. 

We operate the largest kosher food pantry in New England, offer culturally sensitive services to survivors of domestic abuse, and care for more than 400 Holocaust survivors who deserve to live their final years in comfort. We also offer meaningful volunteer opportunities that enable people to live our Jewish values of caring and compassion and transmit them across generations. 

As social service innovators, we are constantly evolving to meet new needs. JF&CS serves clients of all faiths and cultures. In this period of heightened antisemitism and angst, JF&CS is here for the Jewish community and beyond, and JF&CS is here for you.

JF&CS is proudly supported by Combined Jewish Philanthropies, the Network of Jewish Human Service Agencies, and the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany.
