COMMUNITY RESOURCE SURVIVAL GUIDE TO TODAY’S ECONOMIC CRISIS
AFTER-HOURS CRISIS CONTACT INFORMATION
Jewish Family Service offers basic emergency services to those with the most critical needs in the Jewish community, and, where possible, in the broader community. JFS caseworkers assist clients in assessing their situations and creating action plans that meet their immediate critical needs, with long-term stabilization as the goal. To that end, we provide the following:
- Alternatives to Addiction
This program provides confidential, supportive assistance to those struggling with addiction. - Intimate Partner Abuse

Funds may be available to help pay for various emergencies such as transportation, medical needs, past due utility bills, avoiding eviction or school clothing. Screening is required. - Food Bank
The JFS Food Bank operates year-round and includes Seattle and Eastside locations, and a Home Delivery Program. - Chanukah Tzedakah Program
