jfs economic crisis response program
Even if you never thought you’d need our services, we’re here to help. Today’s economic crisis has created extreme hardship for many in our community, including families who’ve never needed assistance before. That’s why we created a program to offer practical solutions on topics of health, finance, and career planning in workshops taught by Community Experts. We can help with the job search, understanding bankruptcy and debt reduction, reducing stress, eating healthy, regaining sleep, and more. So if you’ve hit hard times and need a little help to turn it around, we’re here for you.
To find out more about our workshops, see below. All workshops are free and open to everyone.
