About Us

Vision:

A resilient and collaborative community where people are welcomed and barriers are eliminated.

Mission:

Jewish Family Service of Western Massachusetts serves as a community leader, partnering with people to achieve fulfilling lives. Rooted in Jewish values, we provide exceptional social services to support individuals and families from diverse cultural and economic backgrounds.

Our programs strengthen our community by strengthening the individual–from resettling refugee families, to supporting New Americans to become self-sufficient, counseling young adults through life’s transitions, equipping older adults to age well, protecting elders from abuse, leading caregiver support groups, and helping individuals enhance their Jewish connections.

Values:

Human Dignity –  Tselem Elohim
Compassion – Rachamim
Healing – Tikun 
Integrity – Yoshrah
