The State of Ohio Account Colocation week at Deloitte went well. Some of their staff got to put together care kits for the seniors we serve.

We’re deeply thankful for the continued support by Deloitte and their JNet staff in Columbus.

Being a human service organization means people are at the center of what we do and the very reason for our existence.

This honor, respect and place-making for our organization starts with our employees and trickles down to our clients.

We wouldn’t exist without the impeccably unique, talented and diverse people who have a seat at the table we call Jewish Family Services Columbus and the very people we serve.

DAFs are powerful giving tools that help donors give bigger & better.

Using your Donor Advised Fund to Support Jewish Family Services on October 8th means your DAF will help people find good jobs and companies find talent; support older adults and caregivers in navigating the challenges of aging; provide critical services for refugees and immigrants building their life here; connects people to community resources; empowers family self-sufficiency through financial counseling; and engages volunteers in giving back.

Many people in our community use a DAF to support Jewish Family Services because:

✅ It makes their generosity go further - funds are set aside for giving in advance and can grow tax-free

✅ It’s simple - all their giving in one place, one click to support Jewish Family Services

✅ It’s powerful - our supporters can create a wave of impact by using their DAFs together on October 8th.

This DAF Day, put your generosity to work where it counts most. 🧡

Recommending a grant is simple, you can make your gift directly through our website

Our Family Stabilization Team & Outreach Specialist learned a lot from the speakers at the Central Ohio Digital Inclusion Summit.

The need to close the digital divide that exists in our community is great, but together, we can move the needle to ensure digital access and digital inclusion needs in our community are met.
