โ„น๏ธ RESOURCES โ„น๏ธ
Where to start, and how to find a case worker.
​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.
Jewish Family Services (JFS) is a flagship program of the JCC-Federation of SLO. 
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.
Jewish Family Services 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."
