In this challenging time, Jewish Family Services is working to make sure people’s needs are met. While we are limiting face-to-face services in an effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19/Coronavirus, technology is keeping us well-connected and easy to reach. Most appointments will be by phone, email or online technologies.

If you need assistance and are a current client, please call your Case Manager or Career Consultant directly.

If you or someone you know needs services, please contact our Access Point by submitting an intake questionnaire here, call (614) 231-1890, or email accesspoint@jfscolumbus.org with your questions.

If you are experiencing a mental health or substance abuse crisis, contact Netcare Access. Twenty-four-hour crisis line: (614) 276-2273. Online chat: netcareaccess.org.

We are in close contact with Jewish community leadership, other human services organizations, our funding partners, and government agencies to ensure community needs will be met, as the situation continues to evolve.

If we may be of assistance either directly or by connecting you with other community services, please leave a voicemail message or email our Access Point. Be sure to let us know the best way to reach you.

If I am not for myself, who will be for me?

But if I am only for myself, who am I?

If not now, when?
