ORGANIZATION: Jewish Family and Community Services East Bay

image_20241030145900

Participate in a Day of Service with us! For this 1-2 hour event, our staff come to your workplace or organization to give a short talk about refugees and lead your group in creating hygiene kits. These hygiene kits are then distributed to our refugee clients.

This opportunity is perfect for groups of any size. It is a great way for a group to make a big impact in just an hour or two: One event produces enough hygiene kits to serve 25-50 families!

Please note: Due to limited resources, we do ask your organization to purchase/collect all hygiene supplies needed for the event. This can easily be done by assigning each group member a different hygiene item to purchase.

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.
