JAFCO: Jewish Adoption & Family Care Options
The Susan & Jack Holender Children’s Fund is proud to support JAFCO (Jewish Adoption and Family Care Options) in their mission to provide care and support to children impacted by abuse, neglect, trauma, and developmental disabilities like autism.
In addition to financial contributions, we will also be helping to raise awareness about JAFCO’s vital services, including foster care and adoption, group homes and emergency shelters, family enrichment and strengthening programs, and more through social media.
About JAFCO
JAFCO’s mission is to provide care, safety, and support to children and their families within the Jewish community and beyond who are impacted by abuse, neglect, trauma, or developmental disabilities…giving every child a place to belong.
JAFCO provides a full continuum of high-quality services including foster care, adoption, family preservation, mentoring, independent living and developmental disability programs. The JAFCO Children’s Village, consisting of an Emergency Shelter and six Group Homes, is one of the most unique and innovative programs in the nation. The JAFCO Children’s Ability Center supports families raising children with developmental disabilities by providing family enrichment, resources, and respite care all within one state-of-the-art center. JAFCO is also providing family preservation and support services to families raising a child with a developmental disability in our Philadelphia office.
Together, We Can Make a Difference
By partnering with JAFCO, we are committed to ensuring that vulnerable children in need receive the love, care, and support they deserve. Together, we can ensure every child can have a brighter and more secure future.
To join us in supporting this important cause, donations can be made directly to JAFCO. Every contribution helps these children receive the essential resources they need to thrive… giving every child a place to belong.
The JAFCO Philosophy
JAFCO believes that the care of our children is a community responsibility. While JAFCO was created to fill an unmet need in the Jewish community, they believe it is their privilege, pleasure and responsibility as a Jewish community to offer our quality services to any child and family in need and that caring for dependent children should not be viewed as charity but should be viewed as a parent caring for a child — with joy, pride, love and support…giving every child a place to belong.
