Jewish Family Service of San Diego

Every day, people turn to JFS because they need someone in their corner. We welcome everyone with dignity, compassion, and respect. We listen to clients' whole stories—not just the needs that brought them here—and approach their challenges with their strengths, motivations, and unique circumstances in mind. We put people and their wellbeing at the center of everything we do. Every day, people turn to JFS because they need someone in their corner. We welcome everyone with dignity, compassion, and respect. We listen to clients' whole stories—not just the needs that brought them here—and approach their challenges with their strengths, motivations, and unique circumstances in mind. We put people and their wellbeing at the center of everything we do. When people first contact JFS, it's often with an urgent need like food, transportation, or housing. Others seek assistance for an aging parent or a new network of support. We start by helping people access the resources to stabilize their situation. Then, we work together to create a plan. With an approach rooted in supportive personal relationships and strong community partnerships, we deliver services that foster the health, skills, confidence, and resilience of every person we serve. Over time, our clients build a foundation of economic stability, personal wellbeing, and community connection that empowers them to thrive. With great people, strong values, a focused mission, and a supportive community, there's no limit to what we can do together.
