Our Annual Friends Campaign is underway. We appreciate all who have donated, and if you haven't, there is still time. Now more than ever, the need for support is critical.

Donate online at fundraise.givesmart.com/e/qXZHLw?vid=1ll3gh or mail a check to TJFS, 522 N Howard Ave, Tampa, FL 33606. Thank you for your support! ... See MoreSee Less

Did you know we have a new Community Food Bank located at Congregation Rodeph Sholom in South Tampa? The need for food assistance has continued to grow so this is another way TJFS is helping to meet that need. If you or someone you know is in need of assistance with food, please visit one of our food bank locations. Learn more here: tjfs.org/services/community-food-bank/ ... See MoreSee Less

If you're stopping by the grocery store over the next few days, please consider picking up extra items for the Community Food Bank! This is an easy and important way to support the Tampa community. Please donate non-perishables like canned chicken or tuna, peanut butter, or canned vegetables. You can drop them of in the lobbies of either JCC location. We have bins set up in the lobbies.
