COVID-19 Emergency Volunteer Needs

The health and safety of our staff, volunteers, and clients are our top priority. As an agency that works with vulnerable populations, we have modified our volunteer opportunities to meet public health recommendations and social distancing practices. There are still many ways for you to stay involved with JFCS and give back to our community during these challenging times.

Making Masks

JFCS needs face masks! Donations of new or hand-sewn masks can be mailed or dropped off between 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. in a sealed plastic bin or bag. A recommended sewing pattern, along with suggested cloth materials, can be found below. Your efforts will help make a difference!
