Why Support JCS on Give Miami Day

For over 100 years, Jewish Community Services of South Florida (JCS) has been a lifeline for individuals and families in need, providing help, healing, and hope to people of all ages, backgrounds, and identities. Guided by our mission of strengthening lives through compassionate services, JCS addresses the most pressing needs in our community through four main pillars of support:

• Food Security & Basic Needs – Our Kosher Food Bank, JCS Delivers program, and emergency assistance services ensure that children, families, and seniors never go hungry and have access to essential resources.
• Children, Youth & Families – From mentoring and school-based programs to counseling and crisis support, JCS helps young people thrive and strengthens families through every stage of life.
• Behavioral Health & Wellness – JCS provides counseling, case management, psychiatric services, and 24/7 crisis response to support mental health and emotional well-being for the entire community.
• Older Adults & Holocaust Survivors – Through congregate meal sites, senior transportation, in-home support, and specialized care for Holocaust Survivors, JCS promotes dignity, independence, and social connection.
• In addition, JCS proudly offers inclusive programs for the LGBTQ+ community, refugee resettlement support, and culturally sensitive services available in English, Spanish, and Creole.

Your support on Give Miami Day allows JCS to continue meeting the evolving needs of our community, ensuring that no one is left behind. Together, we can make South Florida a stronger, more compassionate place for all.
