About This Cause
Jewish Family Services of Greater Hartford provides culturally-responsive assistance for individuals and families of all races, religions, and abilities. Program Offerings: The ANJA ROSENBERG KOSHER FOOD PANTRY provides food to anyone in need, whether it is an ongoing need or a one-time crisis. In a grocery store-style setting, we offer fresh produce, eggs, pantry staples, spices, pet food, diapers, paper goods, and also provide nutritional counseling with a volunteer nutrition consultant. COUNSELING SERVICES offer counseling and psychiatric care with licensed clinicians for children, adolescents, adults, families, and older adults. Community support for YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH addresses youth mental health right here in our community, providing tools, support, and knowledge to help young people thrive. The HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS PROGRAM provides emergency assistance for very low-income survivors, and works closely with clients to make sure they have all they need to live life as fully as possible. Support for RUSSIAN-SPEAKING OLDER ADULT refugees from the former Soviet Union, providing translation, food access, access to benefits, help navigating medical bills, and much more.

THE VICTIMS OF CRIME ACT (VOCA) CASE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM aids survivors of crime as they navigate the court system, helps them find the resources they need, and promotes healing in the aftermath of crime. The TEMPORARY ASSISTANCE FOR NEEDY FAMILIES (TANF, formerly Welfare to Work) CASE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM helps TANF recipients as they develop life goals, increase their income, and avoid eviction or utility shut-off notices.
