How You Can Help

The demand for mental health, economic, and other supports is staggering. We need your help now more than ever. Below are ways you can help your community during this difficult time.

We hope you will become part of our caring network of more than 2,400 volunteers. Volunteers are a vital part of JF&CS and have an incredible impact in the communities we serve.

There are many ways that individuals and organizations can help make a difference in the life of just one person or in the well-being of the larger community. We offer flexible volunteer opportunities that fit into all lifestyles ranging from a one-time experience to a full year commitment.

JF&CS volunteers are provided with training, support, and supervision. Many have formed long and lasting friendships with their clients. We make every effort to match your schedule and interests with the needs of our clients. We look forward to having you become part of our JF&CS family of volunteers!
