Jewish Family & Community Service (JFCS) can be compared to the traditional Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS, Chicago) with a focus on the Jewish community. In addition to the traditional services offered by an organization like the DCFS, the JFCS fosters a sense of culture and Jewish fellowship by injecting their healing and caring services with Jewish values. The JFCS offers help to those with disabilities and dependency issues and residential and child welfare.
