Yes, we do! You can visit our food pantry on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. You can find more details about the process here: https://www.jewishfamilyservice.org/services/denver-food-pantry. Let us know if you have any other questions.

We offer a variety of in-person and at-home projects that change throughout the year, including sorting and distributing food in the Weinberg Food Pantry, delivering food to homebound individuals, and more. Learn more and sign up here: jewishfamilyservice.org/volunteer.

Yes, our Aging Care & Connections team can assist you. Their primary focus is to help older adults remain as independent as possible for as long as possible in the environment of their choosing.

Yes, we focus our efforts on preventing homelessness by providing individuals and families living on very low incomes with rent assistance, case management, and access to other supportive services. For financial assistance there are specific criteria that must be met, and there are a limited number of application slots. JFS works in collaboration with other agencies throughout the state and we suggest also calling United Way’s Helpline at 2-1-1 for a list of other agencies that might be able to assist you. Learn more at jewishfamilyservice.org/services/emergency-assistance-program.

We offer many services to clients at no charge, including many of our employment services, parenting groups/workshops, KidSuccess school-based mental health services, Weinberg Food Pantry, disability services, and some of our Aging Care & Connections programs. The services that do have fees (many with sliding-fee scales) are counseling, care management, and older adult in-home services. Learn more at jewishfamilyservice.org/services.

No! Jewish Family Service provides comprehensive services to individuals and families of all faiths, races, ages, incomes, and abilities. We welcome volunteers, donors, and employees from all backgrounds as well.

Through our Senior Solutions Concierge program, we coordinate with city staff and other local senior service organizations with the intent of enriching the physical and emotional well-being of older adults by providing wellness, recreational, and social engagement opportunities. In addition, care managers provide access to outside community resources and agencies including mental health services to combat social isolation.

Hi Gloria, Thanks so much for reaching out to us. Unfortunately, JFS doesn't accept donated used furniture and clothing items. We do take some household items, like cleaning supplies. If you have some specific items, let me know what they are and I can see if we can use them. Feel free to call me directly at 72--219-4629. All the best, John Kayser
