Join us for these
community engagement opportunities!
Join JFS Staff in a live virtual community event to discuss how the pandemic has affected us and ways we can cope. We will meet through Zoom technology every three weeks so we can see one another.

We would like to offer helpful tips for coping with isolation, illness fears, economic concerns, and more. Furthermore, we hope to create a safe space for sharing and discussion. Mostly we want to have a space where we can all feel connected in this time of social distancing. Please email [email protected] if you are interested in participating!c
