JFCS volunteers come from diverse backgrounds and volunteer independently, with family members, or with school or corporate groups. Our volunteers are enthusiastic and have a desire to give back to the community. JFCS volunteers spend over 5,000 hours annually donating their time to helping individuals of all ages and backgrounds.
