Clockwise from top: Volunteers from Temple Shir Tikva, Wayland (including former Board member Diane Black, her husband Chester and their grandchildren), sort donations from a community clothing drive; JFS is committed to providing help and support to immigrants in our community such as this young mother who fled the war in Ukraine—watch a video to hear her story; a young volunteer delivers a moment of holiday cheer to a neighbor; and thanks to Yale Appliance and the Yale Appliance Foundation, hundreds of children received warm winter footwear so they can enjoy the season to its fullest (Photo: Axie Breen).
Dear Friends,
At JFS, we understand tikkun olam not only as the pursuit of justice, but as a sacred responsibility—to repair what is breaking and to care for those most at risk when the world feels uncertain.
Right now, that responsibility has never felt more urgent.
Families are struggling to put food on the table. Newcomers are living in fear amid shifting immigration policies. Older adults—many frail, isolated, and living alone—are facing crises triggered by even the smallest disruption. The safety net so many depend on is stretched thin.
This is where JFS steps in.
As you consider your year-end charitable giving, I ask that you please include Jewish Family Service of Metrowest. Your support ensures we can deliver food, warmth, stability, and dignity to children, families, and older adults who need us now.
And this year, your impact can go twice as far.
Thanks to a $75,000 matching gift, every dollar you give before December 31 will be matched dollar for dollar, doubling your support for our community.
This is the moment when tikkun olam calls us forward. Thank you for helping ensure that no one in our community is left unseen or unsupported.
With gratitude,
Lino Covarrubias, CEO
P.S. With charitable tax changes on the horizon, please make your tax-deductible gift before December 31 to maximize your impact.
