We are celebrating Women’s History Month, and all the strong women at JCFS Chicago who are empowered to create a fair and inclusive world. We appreciate all you do for our agency!

JCFS Chicago is devastated by the events unfolding in Ukraine. Our thoughts are with the Ukrainian people, and with those in our community who are working resolutely to get family and friends to safety.

Since 1996, the Orthodox Network has presented the day-long training many times.  The Network’s bi-monthly meetings, which moved successfully to Zoom in 2020, have helped hundreds of colleagues from many agencies to form professional relationships and learn about services, best practices, and community needs.

“Our ability to advocate effectively for our programs, for our clients and our community will require us to focus and prioritize. I look forward to future opportunities for action, both broad and targeted,” says Stacey Shor.

Following many months of in-depth discussion, JCFS has given notice to DCFS that we will be discontinuing our Foster Care program by the end of 2021.

We are in the home stretch of Seigle Campus construction! “It’s been a true pleasure watching this project go from vision to reality, thanks to all of you,” said Stacey Shor, JCFS Chicago President and Chief Executive Officer.

It’s been another month of incredible progress on the Seigle Campus! 

The ongoing incidents of violence by law enforcement against people of color in many parts of our country cannot stand if we have any hope of liberty and justice for all.

There are many examples of how JCFS staff are continuing their work during this crisis. These circumstances have compelled people to find creative ways to support the well-being of those who depend on us.

The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may be stressful for people and communities. Fear and anxiety about a disease can be overwhelming and cause strong emotions in adults and children.
