The North Louisiana Jewish Federation is proud to announce our Jewish Family Services program. While the Federation has always had an unwavering commitment to community care, this effort expands upon that with a focus on the needs of the aging population, those living alone, disabled, financially vulnerable, and other underserved groups.
As part of this effort, we are seeking applicants for the newly created position of Community Support Specialist. The job description and form to apply are here.
JFS at North Louisiana Jewish Federation is a member of The Network of Jewish Human Service Agencies.
The Network is the only membership association that is established to provide meaningful capacity building resources to support and advance the work of Jewish human service agencies.
Assistance
The North Louisiana Jewish Federation provides financial assistance to local individuals and families in urgent need of financial assistance.
Assistance is provided to individuals who are Jewish.
Funds are not given directly to an individual. Instead, the individual submits a bill he or she has received, and the Federation writes a check for that amount directly to the utility or other business.
This program transforms the lives of our clients with dignity while promoting self-sufficiency. Designed to maintain our clients’ quality of life during difficult times, assistance can be provided for housing, utilities, childcare, medical needs or other emergency expenses on a case by case basis.
For seniors in the Shreveport area needing support services, we partner with Home Instead to provide in-home senior care services on a sliding scale.
For more information on any of the above services, or to request an application, please call 318-868-1200 or email [email protected]
