Welcoming Our New Neighbors

Join us to help make Western Massachusetts home for New Americans! The JFS refugee resettlement program assists refugees as they begin a new life in our community.

• Sponsor an individual family
• Educate and advocate
• Organize a fundraising or goods drive (contact us to find out what we need)

What We Need

We are continually restocking our inventory to allow us to furnish apartments for new refugee arrivals. JFS receives very short notice, sometimes only 12 hours before pick up at the airport, and therefore need to have supplies on hand.

Click here to donate new or gently used household items.

Please help us fill our storerooms by purchasing items from our WISHLIST. Click on the Amazon link below, and designate delivery to JFS, 15 Lenox Street, Springfield, MA 01108.
