WHAT WE DO

Hamilton Jewish Family Services provides a full range of social services to meet the demands of the changing needs of our local Jewish Community.

CASEWORK

Are you facing a crisis, either financial or emotional? Families who encounter crisis and then find themselves overwhelmed are often unable to deal effectively with their problems. We offer information and referral to other agencies. 

FIGHTING HUNGER

The Jewish community is determined that no one will go hungry! The Hamilton Jewish Family Services Kosher Food Bank helps families and individuals that are experiencing severe financial problems – both long and short-term. The Food Bank provides healthy kosher food food to individuals and families in need, including: kosher frozen chickens, ground beef, as well as a full range of canned and dry goods.

An interview is required to determine eligibility. Our goal is to help everyone remain a part of the community in the Hamilton area.
