Jewish Family Services of Delaware Inc

Jewish Family Services of Delaware (jfs) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1899 by a visionary group of Jewish leaders. Originally named the hebrew charity association, the organization's early mission was to serve the Jewish community. By the 1960s, Services had expanded dramatically, and the agency's name was changed to Jewish Family Services of Delaware. Today, as a non-sectarian organization, jfs serves over 6,000 individuals annually, including children, teens, adults, and seniors, so they can more easily navigate life's challenges and find solutions to problems they face. Services are provided in jfs' wilmington, newark, and lewes offices, via telehealth options, as well as at clients' homes, schools, and local community centers. Fully accredited by the national council on accreditation, jfs programs and policies remove barriers that may inhibit underserved populations from accessing needed support.
