Jewish Family Services

"We are delighted that, in just a few short weeks, Jewish Family Service's Sixtieth Anniversary Endowment Campaign has received pledge commitments totalling nearly $210,000," announced JFS President Bob Berkelhammer. The total represents gifts from approximately 200 individuals and families. More than one-quarter of the pledges have already been paid. However, more support is needed. The amount pledged is only 70% of the $300,00 goal set by the Sixtieth Anniversary Committee chaired by Bob and Marcia Riesman. The endowment fund will ensure the continuation and in some cases, expansion of services provided by JFS in your community. Jewish Family Service offers comprehensive services to the Jewish community, including: counseling, services to the elderly and their families, Home Care service, Family Life Education, The Parent Exchange, adoption services, refugee resettlement, the kosher mealsite in Cranston, Tay Sachs testing. If you have not already done so, consider all the services provided by JFS, and how much they are needed by your friends, neighbors, acquaintances, maybe even yourself.
