What's Here
Providing organization
Jewish Collaborative Services
As of June 2018, Jewish Seniors Agency of RI (JSARI) and Jewish Family Service of RI (JFS) combined to form Jewish Collaborative Services (JCS). An integration of social services and housing.
JCS is a comprehensive, solutions-oriented resource for those in distress or just in need of a little help. A full-spectrum service organization, we offer aging and wellness programs, assisted living, support for caregivers, affordable housing for seniors and the mobility impaired, counseling services for children and adults, food and nutrition programs, adoption services and more.
We provide peace of mind by ensuring that everyone who comes to us can gain access to the resources they need. Although our work is guided by Jewish values, we serve those of all backgrounds and religious affiliations.
Jewish Collaborative Services was established in 2018 through the union of two of Rhode Island’s premier agencies, Jewish Family Service of RI (JFSRI) and Jewish Seniors Agency of RI (JSARI). Both agencies were grounded in the values of compassion, humanity and inclusiveness, serving all in need.
