The mission of Jewish Family Services of Greater Charleston (JFS) is to empower individuals, strengthen families, protect the vulnerable, and help seniors age with dignity.
Our work is based on Jewish values to improve quality of life regardless of race, religion, ethnic background, sexual orientation, or gender identity. JFS is guided by the fundamental Jewish values of tzedakah (charity) and tikkun olam (repair of the world).
JFS Services
We offer holistic services and resources for clients, including: the Senior Outreach Initiative, Food Assistance, Refugee Resettlement, Financial Resources, and Jewish Community Chaplain.
“When the chips were down and we were very much affected by the virus, JFS came through and bridged a gap so that we didn’t have to be homeless. I will forever remember.”
