Dear Friends,

If you feel as though your life has been changed dramatically by recent events and demographic shifts, you’re not alone. Antisemitism. A mental health crisis. Rising prices and economic uncertainty. And the tug-of-war between caring for our children, our parents and ourselves.

JF&CS has responded to these challenges time and time again—offering supports and innovating new services. Over the last year, we’ve also engaged with nearly 1,000 of you in an in-depth analysis of our own capabilities and the needs of the community. I’m now excited to share with you our new five-year strategic plan, entitled Under One Roof.

At the core of this plan is the consistent finding that JF&CS is uniquely impactful because of our holistic approach to meeting life’s challenges. That means addressing pressing needs, root cause issues and related repercussions—all in one place. And it means that JF&CS can be the go-to place for people to call when they need help.

Over the next five years, JF&CS will continue to strengthen our integrated service model. We have selected five priority areas where we will intentionally hone our efforts to meet the moment, which you can read about below. 

The work of moving our community from vulnerability to strength will require all of us to come together to make our shared vision for our caring community a reality. Thank you for joining with us in building toward the future.
