Say What? 

"I am so thankful to you for everything you do for my sister.  She just loves y'all, and I haven't been  in Birmingham for so long."

Board Member Spotlight

"It was not until I started serving on the Board of CJFS that I realized how much expertise and service was available to the entire community, not just for those in need financially and emotionally.  This agency stands ready to serve the baby boomers in the most professional way."

I am one of the lucky few. I have been involved with CJFS from the start, as I used to be the person people would call when scheduling a Buz-A-Bus ride. It was such a joy talking with and helping people get where they needed to go.  I'm so happy that this wonderful service continues today, almost 25 years later, and I also love being connected with CJFS on an ongoing basis!

We are Thankful for our Volunteers!
We had a lot of help at CJFS this month, with sorting food from the High Holy Days food drive and with helping older adults tackle some seasonal chores.
