Statement

values of doing good deeds (tzedakah) and repairing the world
(tikkun olam), Jewish Family Service is dedicated to improving
the lives of diverse individuals and families throughout
the Sacramento region. We serve people of all ages, racial
or ethnic backgrounds, and income levels.
JFS operates a thrift shop called Second
Hand Rose to give the community an opportunity to contribute
their used goods to benefit the agency, and to provide community
service.
The ViewPoint is issued twice each year. To receive future issues,
