Help JFCS Welcome Afghan Refugees Today!
Earlier this year, many fled Afghanistan in in fear for their safety and their futures. In response to the political changes and danger to many of those who stood against the Taliban, the United States is welcoming over 65,000 qualified Afghans who aided the United States in the fight against extremists.
Many of us have been following the news wondering, “How can I help?”
JFCS is proud to offer Refugee Resettlement Services to Afghans as an affiliate of HIAS, the Global Jewish Organization for Refugees. As we are relaunching our program, we are starting fresh as a resettlement agency. This means that monetary donations and volunteer time are important donor contributions. As we get our program rolling, the most expedient way to help Afghan refugees is monetary donations of any size. We appreciate our generous donors who have already provided funding!
As we welcome Afghan refugees into our community, we thank you for your contributions!
Every donation makes a large impact.

Divorce Recovery
Divorce Recovery Continues to Offer Virtual Support in Our community with Our Online Support Groups!
Divorce Recovery I
Divorce Recovery I Support Groups (DRI) focus on the beginning of the “endings” process. Through participation in the group process, handouts, and leader presentations, participants will gain a better understanding of the divorce transition journey. It is here where participants share their challenges, losses, and grief in a safe, confidential, and nurturing place. Participants will work on saying goodbye to their relationship and gain strength and hope as they move through this transition. Each session is once a week via Zoom for 8 weeks. A $70 donation is requested, but no one is ever turned away due to inability to pay.
Registration for Divorce Recovery I Group is currently open for the following group sessions:
- November: Tuesdays, 11/09 – 12/28
- December: Wednesdays, 12/01 – 01/19
- January: Mondays, 01/10 – 02/28
