The Bacharach Foundation awarded Jewish Family Service of Atlantic & Cape May Counties (JFS) a generous $100,000 grant to support the agency’s essential community services. Bacharach’s support is part of their commitment toward the future with a focus on expanded charitable efforts to improve the quality of life for more community members.
“JFS is deeply grateful for the financial support from such a distinguished community partner as the Bacharach Foundation, whose commitment to the health and well-being of individuals across our region is vital,” said Andrea Steinberg, JFS Chief Executive Officer. “This support comes at a time when community needs are growing and increasingly complex.”
At JFS, we are experiencing a heightened demand for mental health services as individuals and families face rising levels of stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. The Bacharach Foundation’s investment ensures JFS can continue to respond where the need is greatest – providing timely, compassionate, and accessible care to those navigating some of life’s most challenging moments.
Serving more than 15,000 people each year, JFS provides a comprehensive network of programs designed to meet the evolving needs of the community. From its food pantry and homelessness prevention services to mental health counseling, trauma-informed care, and support for older adults, JFS offers a continuum of care that reaches individuals and families at every stage of life. As the region’s premier provider of trauma-focused services, JFS is a trusted resource for those seeking specialized support that is often scarce, ensuring vulnerable community members receive timely, expert care when they need it most.
“For over 30 years, the Bacharach Foundation has provided support to local, non-profit programs with a focus on healthcare, research and education,” said Richard Kathrins, Ph.D., President & Chief Executive Officer at Bacharach Institute for Rehabilitation. “JFS has a rich history of providing care to residents of the region. We are pleased to now support the efforts of JFS in order to provide timely, needed, and accessible care to the community.”
Together, JFS and the Bacharach Foundation share a commitment to strengthening the community and ensuring individuals and families have access to the support they need to thrive. This investment allows JFS to sustain and expand essential services, respond to emerging challenges, and continue to serve as a trusted resource for community members – today and in the years ahead.
