About Jewish Family Services

JFS programs and services aptly represent our core value: “For Good. For All.” This encapsulates our commitment to providing services that are beneficial to all members of the community, regardless of their background or beliefs. “For Good. For All.” reflects JFS Rochester’s commitment to ensuring that everyone has access to the resources and support they need to thrive. 

Serving the Greater Rochester Community

JFS has a long history of serving the Greater Rochester community, providing essential human services to those in need for over a century. JFS is a community organization that is often perceived as serving primarily to the Jewish population, however, our programs are inclusive and available to anyone in need, regardless of their religious background. In fact, only 20% of the people we serve identify as Jewish. 

Our commitment to serving all members of the community is rooted in the belief that every person deserves access to resources and support that can improve their well-being. JFS recognizes that human needs are not confined to one particular group; we’re dedicated to providing services that are inclusive and accessible to all.

Our Mission:

Jewish Family Services empowers Jewish and non-Jewish individuals, families and communities to thrive by providing a wide array of programs and services built upon the traditions of dignity, kindness and tikkun olam – improving the world.

Our Vision:

Tikkun Olam…We will repair the world through compassion, connection, and creative solutions.
