2026 Community Appeal
Securing stability, community, and dignity for those who need it most.
Be the Help Waiting for Neighbors in Need
Every day, because of your support, thousands of people across our community face life's changes and challenges together with JFCS, confident that they are not alone.
When Sarah, Teyie, and their son Henry arrived in Pittsburgh from Syria, the anxiety of finding a safe home, getting around the neighborhood on the bus, and addressing Henry's long-neglected medical needs overshadowed their hopes for a new beginning.
Today, because of your support, the family is building a secure, stable future and giving back to their new community.
Your generosity reflects the ancient belief that a community has an obligation to care for one another.
This year, that obligation is more crucial than ever. Despite the needs of our community continuing to grow, JFCS is grappling with the loss of nearly 40% of our operating budget.
When you step up with us today, you keep an older adult from skipping a meal, accompany scared children as they stand in front of a judge, and support Sarah and Teyie as they make Pittsburgh their new home.
Please make your most generous gift today, so the next family who comes to us finds help waiting.
