Jewish Family Services (JFS) supports and strengthens lives throughout Greater Kansas City. We provide essential human services for people of all faiths, ages, cultures, and identities who are facing challenges in everyday life or times of crisis.

The end of the year invites reflection — on what we’ve overcome, and on the lives we’ve touched together. At Jewish Family Services, we’ve seen thousands of neighbors walk through our doors in 2025. Each comes with a story of resilience, a need for dignity, and a hope for the future.
Your gift makes those hopes real. 
Learn how you can make a difference here.


With more than 200,000 people locally facing a food crisis as the federal government shutdown continues, JFS is stepping up to help. Donate now to help fund our food distribution.


Thank you for reaching out to JFS. Please note that JFS does not offer emergency rent and utilities assistance. If you are looking to be enrolled in one of our services, please submit your information using our online form or call 913-730-1433 . If you are eligible for one or more of our services, an Intake Coordinator will return your call as soon as possible.
