Jewish Family Services (JFS) supports and strengthens lives throughout Greater Kansas City. We provide essential human services for people of all faiths, ages, cultures, and identities who are facing challenges in everyday life or times of crisis.

Spread the Love all February as we collect peanut butter, jelly and all "spreadables" to stock the food pantry shelves with these highly requested items. Learn how you can Spread the Love here.


2025 was a year to remember! For JFS, it was a year of connection and growth, of generosity and collaboration. As we look towards 2026, the staff at JFS are so thankful for the support we received this year and grateful that we can continue to serve and support our community members as they navigate life-changing events or times of everyday need. Read more about our 2025 year in review.


With more than 200,000 people locally facing a food crisis as the federal government shutdown continues, JFS is stepping up to help. Donate now to help fund our food distribution.


Thank you for reaching out to JFS. Please note that JFS does not offer emergency rent and utilities assistance. If you are looking to be enrolled in one of our services, please submit your information using our online form or call 913-730-1433 . If you are eligible for one or more of our services, an Intake Coordinator will return your call as soon as possible.
