Since its inception as part of the Jewish Federation of Palm Springs in 1982, JFS has grown, not just in size, but in its ability to serve the people of the Coachella Valley. Beginning as a small group of volunteers who checked in on seniors and disabled people who lived alone, JFS has evolved into an organization of professionals and volunteers that provide a broad range of support and services to thousands of Southern California residents each year.

My mission is to provide for the social-service needs of the Jewish and general community throughout the greater Coachella Valley with a commitment to promote the well-being of people of all ages, incomes and lifestyles.
