Mission Statement

Rooted in a longstanding tradition, Jewish Family and Children’s agencies play a vital role within the Jewish community, extending assistance to children, the elderly, individuals with special needs, those who are marginalized or vulnerable, and those navigating the resettlement and acculturation process as refugees and immigrants.

These efforts are guided by historical Jewish values, emphasizing intergenerational connections and a deep sense of communal responsibility.
