HELP CFI CELEBRATE

85 YEARS

 

Centers for Independence was founded in 1938 as Jewish Vocational Service (JVS) to help people start a new life in Milwaukee.

Since then, CFI has grown to serve thousands of people each year, empowering them to live their fullest lives as independently as possible.

If CFI is a part of your life now or was in the past, what words come to mind to describe us?

Participants volunteer with Meals on Wheels


Despite the cold on Friday, Feb. 3, the first deliveries were made to 12 Meals on Wheels participants. Our clients continue to deliver meals each week on Thursdays and Fridays. We couldn’t be prouder of these clients and their volunteer efforts!
