Through the programs and services of Jewish Community Services (JCS), families and individuals will be supported in meting the basic needs for economic sufficiency; in living independently; in achieving mental health and competence; and in feeling supported by and connected to the Jewish community in ways that are meaningful to them.

The Jewish Emergency Network (JEN) is a program of the Federation designed to provide emergency assistance to individuals and families. This program helps people in our community in times of crisis.

We have five chapters in Howard County, each of which plan and hold programs and meetings on a weekly basis. This allows members to explore areas of leadership, service, Israel education and Jewish values, and to become vibrant Jewish community leaders.

Whatever the occasion is, let the Federation help you celebrate your special day. Rent a bima basket or a chuppah and support the Jewish Federation and your community.
