Every day Westchester residents of all backgrounds who face mental health, trauma, disability, parenting, aging, and other challenges are provided life-saving services and programs at Westchester Jewish Community Services. It is our privilege and passion to help nearly 20,000 people each year. But we can’t do it without you!
Our Year End Appeal is happening now! Every new and increased gift will be matched dollar for dollar up to $25,000 with a Matching Gift from the Mensch Family in memory of Reggi Mensch.
Your generosity transforms the lives of those we serve. With your help, we offer dozens of programs that help infants, youth, adults, and seniors. Your compassion and kindness help support 12 WJCS group homes for disabled adults as well as social, vocational, and counseling for individuals with intellectual and emotional disabilities. Our child-parent programs boost healthy child development, literacy, positive parent-child engagement, and preparation for academic and life success. Our mental health and trauma programs help people find strength and resilience to overcome challenges and build better futures. Our senior programs offer older adults care management and services so they can age safely in their homes, plus provide much-needed support for caregivers of individuals with dementia. WJCS Center Lane supports LGBTQIA+ youth and their families with affirming educational, recreational, and counseling programming. WJCS Holocaust Survivor programs provide home-delivered meals, support groups, and social activities to ensure that the most vulnerable in the Jewish community have the practical and emotional support they need.
We are grateful for your past philanthropy and the impact it has made. We ask that you consider making a gift again this year. Any amount is significant and will help serve those in need in our community.
Thank you for your consideration and best wishes for wonderful holidays!
With gratitude,
Seth Diamond
WJCS Chief Executive Officer
