Jewish Family Service of MetroWest New Jersey (JFS) provides innovative, compassionate, and outstanding social services to enhance the independence and well-being of individuals and families throughout all stages of life. JFS provides for the social services and mental health needs of the greater community with unparalleled professionalism, humanity, and respect for all who seek its support.
Individuals and families continue to face challenges even in strong, vibrant, and diverse communities like ours. We can all relate to those impacted by the struggles of mental health, caregiving, financial insecurity, and the stress of living in unpredictable times.
JFS & You….Building a Healthier & Stronger Community.
