Our Community Partner of the Month is Jewish Family Service. Jewish Family Service is a nonprofit social service organization that supports people of all faiths as they navigate through life's challenges - illness, aging, financial uncertainty, mental health concerns, family problems, or personal issues. We strengthen individuals and families of all backgrounds through counseling, advocacy, care management, and community education. With offices in Salt Lake City and Park City, Utah, Jewish Family Service is one of the only agencies along the Wasatch Front offering these services to those in need on a sliding fee scale, meaning we assist all people regardless of ability to pay. Whether offering affordable mental health counseling to individuals and families, resources and comfort to older adults and their caregivers, or being that safety net for those in financial distress via emergency assistance and food pantry, JFS's highly qualified professional staff strives to provide the best programs and services for all, regardless of denomination.
