Message from the Board President
Dear Friends,
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to welcome you to Jewish Family Services of Silicon Valley and to our very informative website.
Jewish Family Services has helped to change the lives of many people living in our community. Our agency is committed to providing services to those who face challenges in their daily lives and to those who may need comfort and care. Our dedicated and highly trained staff is able to help our clients in the areas of counseling and emergency services, senior services, employment services, Holocaust survivor support, and career counseling. Moreover, our agency continues to aid in refugee resettlement and in émigré support.
Assisting our staff, we have an active and spirited core of volunteers that exceeds more than seven hundred individuals! Their involvement has allowed Jewish Family Services to reach out to even more people who need our help. We welcome and encourage you to become involved with us. Your life, and the lives of those you touch, will truly become richer.
B'Shalom,
Marcia Riggio
