JFS is proud to announce the receipt of two new grants Meals On Wheels America (MOWA) Loves Pets and the Dennis Schuman Charitable Foundation to help JFS to expand our services and assist more individuals in need.
The MOWA Loves Pets grant allows us to launch the JFS Loves Pets Program in recognition of the significant role pets play in the lives of many older adults. This funding will allow us to assist with pet-related expenses, ensuring that older adults can continue to enjoy the companionship of their beloved animals without financial strain. The initiative reinforces our commitment to caring for the entire household, human and pet alike, thereby nurturing a healthier community.
The Dennis Schuman Charitable Foundation grant contributes to the essential funds JFS raises annually in support of providing essential services to vulnerable community, with particular focus on the local Jewish community. This funding will be allocated to support the array of aging in place supports including our Kosher Home Delivered Meals program, health advocacy and benefits assistance, transportation and information and assistance, and more
JFS is grateful for these new grants and to all our funders who support in its mission to enrich the lives of individuals and families of all backgrounds in the Capital Region. We look forward to the positive impact these funds will have on the community and remain committed to delivering compassionate, high-quality services to those in need.
