We often take life for granted. We go about our daily routines, assuming they will continue uninterrupted. But sometimes life doesn't unfold the way we hope. At some point in our lives, we all need help:

• A beloved parent becomes desperately ill.
• A relationship we once considered secure is strained or in tatters.
• Our child has baffling troubles at school.
• We lose our job.

Coping When Trouble Comes

How are we to cope when the unthinkable happens? Fortunately, JFCS will be here, providing Bay Area residents of all ages and faiths with a place to go when they need to find solutions to the problems, transitions, or crises in their lives.  For 160 years JFCS has been feeding the hungry, protecting the vulnerable, comforting the sick, and caring for those with special needs. Last year JFCS--and you---helped more than 65,000 people. No one was turned away.
