Founded in 1918, Jewish Family Service of San Diego (JFS) is a people-centered, impact-driven organization working to build a stronger and healthier community where everyone can thrive. 

Every day, people turn to JFS because they need someone in their corner. We welcome everyone with dignity, compassion, and respect. We listen to understand and approach their challenges with their strengths, motivations, and unique circumstances in mind. 

When people first contact JFS, it’s often with an urgent need like food, transportation, or housing. Others seek assistance for an aging parent or a new network of support. We start by helping people access the critical resources they need to stabilize. Then, we work together to create a plan. With an approach rooted in supportive personal relationships and strong community partnerships, we deliver services that foster the health, skills, confidence, and resilience of every person we serve. Over time, community members build a foundation of economic stability, personal wellbeing, and community connection that empowers them to thrive.

With great people, strong values, a focused mission, and a supportive community, there’s no limit to what we can do together. To learn how you can join us in Moving Forward Together, visit www.jfssd.org.
