We were honored to welcome U.S. Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester to JFS Delaware. During her visit, she met privately with a maternal mental health patient and JFS counselor, learning more about how our team continues to support pregnant and postpartum mothers across Delaware.

20% (1 in 5) of pregnant and postpartum individuals experience a Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorder. It remains the number one complication of childbirth in Delaware. Senator Blunt Rochester saw firsthand how continuous funding is essential to sustain this program, especially for those who are uninsured or underinsured. She also visited our food pantry and play therapy rooms, gaining a broader understanding of the wraparound services JFS provides. 

Her visit offered an opportunity to share how our team supports individuals and families statewide, work made possible through the generosity of our community.

We are grateful to U.S. Senator Chris C***s for meeting with refugees served by JFS Delaware during a recent roundtable. Hearing their stories of courage, loss, and hope was a powerful reminder of the resilience that defines our community.

Senator C***s recognized the significant pressure our organization faces as we work to stabilize families on a limited operating budget. The need continues to grow, and JFS Delaware remains committed to ensuring that every person who walks through our doors receives the support, dignity, and care they deserve.

Our dedicated case managers help newcomers secure housing, access education, and rebuild their lives with compassion and care. We are proud to stand with refugees and thankful for leaders who listen and support our mission.

As we welcome Rosh Hashanah and the beginning of a new year, we’re celebrating the strength of community and the power of showing up for one another.

May the year ahead be filled with peace, sweetness, and new possibilities for our community. L’Shanah Tova from all of us at JFS Delaware!

Our office will be closed on Friday, September 11th in observance of the holiday and will reopen during regular business hours on Monday, September 14, 2026.
