JFCS offers social work assessments to help individuals identify resources, set up in-home services, schedule appointments, and assist with sorting through mail and paying bills. Prior to COVID-19, this initial assessment was conducted in the home, and is now available virtually through various forms of telehealth, followed by three quarterly follow-up visits within a 12-month period. These visits, whether virtual or in person, are intended to monitor the client’s needs and implement services throughout the year. While there are fees associated, we do offer a sliding scale fee for assessments and ongoing case management services. After an assessment, an individual is then considered a full client and can avail themselves of additional JFCS services, including volunteer services.

JFCS offers healthy, kosher meals ($7 each) and delicious soups ($6 each) sealed in microwaveable containers. Meals can be arranged for pickup or home delivery. To order meals for the first time or to inquire, call (856) 424-1333 ext. 1162 or email meals@jfedsnj.org.
