Based in Denver, Jewish Family Service of Colorado is a nonprofit that provides human services to people in need, regardless of their circumstances or religious beliefs. Founded in 1872, it runs more than 30 programs addressing essentials such as food security, housing stability, mental health counseling, aging support, employment services, disability services, chaplaincy and Jewish life, along with a program focused on aeroponic farming. The organization takes a holistic approach, evaluating the multiple needs of individuals and families and delivering coordinated services within a single institution as community challenges evolve. A recent development involves extending services to Boulder County through a JFS Boulder partnership with Community Food Share and the Boulder JCC, with the first monthly distribution beginning April 14, 2026. Initially, about 50 households will receive boxes containing fresh produce, dairy and other foods, reflecting the program’s emphasis on local and accessible food relief. This expansion signals continued growth of JFS’s service footprint beyond Denver while maintaining its centralized, holistic service model.
