URGENT ACTION NEEDED TO SUPPORT VULNERABLE FAMILIES
In light of anticipated changes in political leadership and a decline in critical services for our community’s most vulnerable families, we must act now. We are developing rapid-response initiatives, defining urgent funding needs, and strengthening partnerships to ensure these families continue receiving the support they need, even as government safety nets unravel. JFS is uniquely positioned to meet this challenge head-on. Your investment can make an immediate, meaningful difference – click here to learn how.

Bring Light This Chanukah: Help Our Most Vulnerable Find Safety and Hope
As our community gathers to celebrate Chanukah, we are reminded of the power of light to dispel darkness and create much-needed warmth and hope.
Partnering with synagogues, other faith organizations, community organizations, and dedicated volunteers, JFS of Metrowest (JFS) is leading efforts to resettle families, refugees, and asylum-seekers from Afghanistan, Ukraine, and other regions torn apart by conflict. Arriving with little more than hope, they turn to us for essential support: housing, legal aid, trauma counseling, language classes, and more.
We also continue our life-saving work locally, providing financial assistance, legal aid, and access to medical care for vulnerable Jewish families and older adults in our Metrowest community.
This holiday season, JFS invites you to join us by extending warmth to those who have endured unimaginable hardship. With your help, we provide critical resources to empower families as they rebuild their lives with dignity and safety.
Act Now: A Closing Window of Opportunity
Time is of the essence. With many crucial programs and services potentially closing or being reduced under the new administration, we face an urgent challenge: to help as many families as possible be resettled in MA, especially refugee families. Rising costs for housing and basic needs, as well as increased demand for essential services, make this work both vital and time-sensitive.
