We’re so sorry, but Jewish Family Services (JFS) is unable to accept additional requests at this time.
​Like many nonprofits, our funding is limited right now. We understand this can be difficult, and we want to help however we can. We’ve compiled a list of resources and support services that may be helpful, which you can find on our website here.

DONATE DIRECTLY TO JFS

Jewish Family Services (JFS) is a flagship program of the JCC-Federation of SLO. 

JFS assists residents of San Miguel to Santa Maria who are in crisis by providing essential and emergency needs like housing and transportation via gas support and ​micro-grants (in collaboration with local case workers). JFS offers support to anyone in our community regardless of religion, race, ethnicity, national origin, gender identity/expression or sexual orientation. We are a "helping hand for all."

ABOUT MICRO-GRANTS

ABOUT GAS ASSISTANCE

By supporting people during difficult times in their lives, JFS lives up to the Jewish tradition of tikkun olam — a core concept in Judaism that emphasizes the responsibility of individuals and communities to make the world a better place, encompassing a wide range of actions aimed at promoting justice, compassion, and well-being for all.
