Jewish Family Assistance Endowment Fund
This fund has one goal: to help people in the Greater Harrisburg Jewish community who, due to illness or another hardship, are unable to temporarily pay for food, shelter, utilities, unexpected expenses and emergency repairs. This endowment fund will ensure that future generations faced with economic hardships caused by job loss, illness, violent weather, etc., will be treated with the same dignity and caring support as someone coming to us today.

Jewish Family Service Counseling Subsidy Fund
This fund supports therapeutic counseling services for individuals, couples, families, or groups struggling with personal or family issues. Services include assessment, crisis management, stress and anger management, and addiction recovery support.

Jewish Family Service Family Life Education Fund
This fund supports educational programs that help to avert family crises. Services include parenting education, caregiving for the "sandwich generation," strategies for children dealing with peer pressure, and support groups for families dealing with sudden change such as divorce and death.

Jewish Family Service Jewish Healing Center Fund
This fund supports programs that attend to the spiritual needs of individuals and families facing life's challenges during periods of illness or loss. Services include support groups, spiritual counseling, outreach to homebound and long-term care residents, and community healing services.

Jewish Family Service of Harrisburg Fund
Lois Lehrman Grass established this fund in 1992 to benefit Jewish Family Service of Greater Harrisburg.

Jewish Family Service Operating Resources Fund
This fund supports some of the additional costs of Jewish Family Service beyond the day-to-day operational expenses to maintain facilities, programs and services. These expenses include agency certifications, staff continuing education and building awareness of the agency's services in the tri-county area.

Jewish Family Service Outreach Programs Fund
This fund supports programs that seek to maintain homebound elderly in their residences for as long as possible, and also to connect elderly nursing and retirement community residents with their community and religious traditions. Volunteers are matched with homebound residents to provide assistance with daily tasks, and outreach services are offered to keep elderly residents engaged with and connected to their communities.
