If you didn’t have toothpaste, would you feel comfortable having a conversation? If you didn’t have clean clothes, would you show up for a job interview? If you didn’t have food, would you be able to focus at school?

Help JFS fight food and hygiene insecurity and be a bridge to basics for our individuals and families in need. Donate today at jewishfamilyservice.org/highholidays.

We are heartbroken to share that Lil Shaw, our beloved Meal Site Coordinator and the heart of the JFS Community Table lunch program at the JCC for over 14 years, has passed away. For 42 years at the JCC Denver and then with JFS, Lil showed up with warmth, sparkle, humor, and an incredible gift for making everyone feel seen and loved—her legacy lives in every smile she created and every life she touched. Today, we honor Lil by doing what she did best: spreading kindness, sharing laughter, and being grateful for the beautiful connections we make with one another.

A graveside service will be held at Rose Hill Cemetery in Commerce City, Colorado, starting at 12 p.m. tomorrow, Thursday September 17, 2026. May her memory be a blessing.

Old friends recently came together for a special reunion of the former JFS Group Home, reconnecting staff, volunteers, and residents and celebrating the lasting friendships formed over the years.

The gathering was filled with hugs, laughter, games, delicious food, and plenty of stories as everyone reminisced about the special community they built together.

✨We believe that when barriers are removed, women have more room to focus on what's next.

That's why we're grateful to have the JFS Mobile Food & Hygiene Pantry visit Women's Bean Project each month, bringing food and essential resources directly to program participants and the community that surrounds us.

From pantry necessities to meat options and more. the mobile pantry helps make access to food easier for everyone that needs it. 🤲

💚 Thank you to and everyone who makes this resource possible and to the volunteers who continue to show up!
