Dear Friends,

Many of us have witnessed the profound ways JF&CS touches lives: a family nourished by Family Table, an older adult guided by Your Elder Experts, a young mother supported through early parenting challenges.

Our work at JF&CS is both personal and personalized—helping one person or one family at a time—so it can be easy to lose sight of the full scope of our impact across the community. But in fact, JF&CS supports more than 16,000 people each year. Our recent Annual Report highlights the depth and breadth of this impact.

Did you know that in 2024, JF&CS:

You make this work possible—whether you give, serve, or trust us in times of need. 

Our work is more urgent than ever. Recent acts of antisemitic violence have left many in our community feeling vulnerable and afraid. At the same time, proposed cuts to SNAP and Medicaid threaten the well-being of millions—including more than a third of Massachusetts residents who rely on these essential safety nets for food and health care.

As we navigate an uncertain funding landscape, we are deeply grateful for your continued commitment to our work. Thank you for joining us to care for the community.
 


Gail Schulman

Chief Executive Officer
