About LJD JEWISH FAMILY & COMMUNITY SERVICES, INC.

The LJD Jewish Family & Community Services (JFCS) is a nonsectarian 501(c)(3) social services agency based in Jacksonville, Florida, serving Northeast Florida since 1917. Guided by Jewish values, JFCS operates a broad range of programs — including emergency assistance, a large food pantry network, counseling and mental-health services, senior supports, child- and family-focused prevention services, supervised visitation, and Holocaust education — with services available to people of all backgrounds. In recent years JFCS has expanded its hunger-relief and emergency-assistance operations and continues to operate multi-location food pantry services, eviction/housing diversion assistance, and fee-free supervised visitation and family-support programs. The organization is an active partner with local funders and community agencies and maintains accreditation and program oversight practices to support quality service delivery. JFCS is publicly operating and donor-facing, lists EIN 59-0637868, and maintains an up-to-date website describing programs, volunteer opportunities, and ways to support its work across the region.
