Make an impact through the Holocaust Survivor Program Urgent Care Fund. Gulf Coast JFCS assists
nearly 250 local Holocaust Survivors who require varying levels of assistance for essential daily living
activities. For many, the high costs of medical and home care have depleted their financial reserves
resulting in a significant gap in care without our assistance. Funds raised will be directed to their most
urgent care needs, prioritizing those in their 90’s and others with the greatest safety risk or medical
vulnerability. To support local Holocaust Survivors, visit
