Jewish Family Service of St. Paul

Founded in 1911, Jewish Family Service of St. Paul (JFS) provides programs and services that help people from all backgrounds build on their strengths and meet life’s challenges. Our work helps people remain healthy and safe as they work toward a better and more secure future.

As this extraordinary year comes to a close, we are reflecting with gratitude on the compassion, generosity, and trust that you and so many others have shown Jewish Family Service of St. Paul. Because of your support, thousands of our neighbors found hope, stability, and care when they needed it most. Please donate today to ensure we meet our 2025 budget goals so we can respond to the needs of the community.

 On January 1, JFS will unify with Jewish Family and Children’s Service of Minneapolis (JFCS) to form one strong organization — Jewish Family and Children’s Service of Minnesota (JFCSMN). Together, we’ll carry forward more than a century of trusted service in St. Paul, now strengthened by the resources, expanded programs, and shared values of our Minneapolis partner.

But before we begin that exciting new chapter, we need your help to finish this one strong. Your year-end gift to JFS will make an immediate impact on the people we serve in the East Metro — ensuring that food gets to the table, housing remains stable, and compassionate care continues without interruption. Every dollar you give stays here to support our community as we close out the year and transition into our new future. 

You’ve helped build something truly special here in St. Paul. With your continued generosity, that legacy will thrive — stronger, united, and ready to serve for generations to come.  

Thank you for being such an important part of this moment in our history.
