Jewish Family Service

JFS is a non-sectarian agency founded on the Jewish Principle of Healing the World, wherever in the world you may be.  We are passionate about our Coachella Valley!  JFS has served the social service needs of Coachella Valley residents for 41 years. We provide over 10,000 face-to-face services a year in mental health, school counseling, emergency assistance, camp scholarships, and special programming for the Jewish community.  If it touches the heart of the valley, it touches the heart of JFS!  Become a member of the JFS family by volunteering or donating.
