The JFS Emergency Response Fund was launched in mid-March to respond to the urgent needs facing San Diego’s most vulnerable community members during the COVID-19 Crisis. Together, we can be there for our neighbors and offer much-needed relief and vital necessities.
Your support will allow JFS to respond to the most pressing needs of our community, including:
- Increasing our provision of home-delivered meals and free groceries
- Providing financial assistance for rent, medical, and other expenses
- Increasing transportation for seniors
- Offering employment services and counseling
