As a Social Service Agency, centered around the delivery of Mental Health services, we are adapting our programs and creating new and innovative ways to safely engage with the populations that we serve. We are committed to providing vital care and connection, especially in times such as these. For vaccination information, we encourage you to visit Positive Charge PDX.

Join JFCS for weekly conversations on Zoom about the challenges and anxieties of pandemic living.

Meetings Held:

Every Friday at 10 AM

Under the management of volunteer coordinator Sammy Monk, volunteers are available to connect with clients and community members, to share a friendly voice in a time of social distancing and to provide support in this unprecedented time.

Here For All

Jewish Family & Child Service (JFCS) provides social services that improve the lives of adults, families, and children in the Jewish and general communities.

If you are in need of assistance, consult our staff directory, or dial 2-1-1 to connect with 211info and local resources.

During this time of COVID -19, we extend special thanks to our partners the Jewish Federation of Greater Portland, Oregon Jewish Community Foundation and other generous donors for their community leadership in supporting front line responders like JFCS.
