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.


Planning is underway for Hanukkah. Many families continue to struggle to make ends meet. With your help, more than 300 people will feel the warmth and light of Hanukkah this year thanks to your participation in the JFS Hanukkah Project! Learn more 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 first emergency food distribution.


This fall, your gift ensures that older adults, families, and neighbors in need receive the food, care, and support they deserve.

Learn how you can support more than 400 older adults like Jan remain safe in their homes, independent, and connected to their communities HERE.


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.
