Our compassionate staff take the time to understand your situation and connect you with resources, guidance, and support—both within JF&CS and in the broader community—so you do not have to navigate these challenges alone. 

How We Help 

The Basic Needs Network provides free information, guidance, and referrals related to: 

• Food access, including grocery and pantry resources
• Housing stability, utilities, and fuel assistance
• Public benefits such as SNAP and other income supports
• Financial assistance and short-term stabilization resources
• Legal, immigration, and domestic abuse–related referrals
• Connections to JF&CS programs and trusted community partners 

Each call or inquiry is handled with care, respect, and cultural sensitivity. Our team works from a strengths-based, person-centered approach and tailors referrals to your unique needs and circumstances.
