Jewish Family Service LA began in 1854 as The Hebrew Benevolent Society and is a multi-service community agency providing life improving services that help the people of Los Angeles live with dignity and exercise self-determination. With food pantries, domestic violence shelters, senior centers, home-delivered meals, mental health and homelessness prevention services, we believe in and strive for a more compassionate Los Angeles, where no one has to navigate life alone. While rooted in the Jewish community, JFSLA serves all Angelenos without distinction, in neighborhoods and communities across Los Angeles County.
