Distribute furniture to refugee families
ORGANIZATION: Jewish Family and Community Services East Bay
Please visit the new page to apply.
Our refugee families are rolling in and we need your help! Storage volunteers assist clients with selecting items to furnish their new homes from our storage units in Walnut Creek. Additionally, as a storage volunteer, you can help us accept drop-off donations to the storage unit from our donors.
This is a very easy way to volunteer with us! There is a short orientation session at the storage unit to help familiarize you with our process. Then you’ll be added to a text thread where updates are sent when we have a new family arrival or a donor drop off. The time commitment is very flexible, based upon your availability. It’s a plus if you can help with moving furniture, but that is certainly not required.

Mission Statement
Jewish Family & Community Services East Bay (JFCS East Bay) is a community-based, direct social and human services organization that serves and supports Alameda and Contra Costa County residents of all ages, races, and religions. Guided by Jewish values and in collaboration with the diverse communities we serve, JFCS East Bay contributes to the resilience of communities, families, and individuals through advocacy and comprehensive support services at every stage of life.
Description
JFCS East Bay is one of two refugee resettlement agencies in the East Bay. We have deep expertise in resettling LGBTQ+ refugees with Refugee Services.
We pair our resettlement work with Immigration Legal Services to offer comprehensive support for self-sufficiency and family reunification.
In addition, our Children, Youth & Families team attends to the mental health needs of young children and their families.
Our Older Adults and Aging Services team ensures that older adults-and their caregivers-are supported to live with decency and respect.
While our mission has broadened to serve the whole community, based on our value of being responsible for one another, we are committed to a set of services specifically for the Jewish community.
