JFCS and Samaritan have a partnership agreement to bring the comfort of Jewish traditions and values to Hospice care. Volunteers can visit seriously ill patients and their families, often providing respite care for the family members.  These volunteers are required to be vetted by Samaritan, including references and a background check. Each volunteer is also required to attend 12 hours of classroom training and one hour of in the field training.  They will be required to have initial PPD testing for Rubeola, Rubella, and Varicella titers, plus clearance from their doctor saying that they are fit to volunteer.

Disability Services Department (formerly Special Needs): The goal of this program is to develop programs and services in support of individuals with disabilities and their families, so that they can lead more independent and fulfilled lives as citizens of our community. Volunteers can help in help in several ways.

Supports to Achieve Independent Living (SAIL): High school and college students (18+ only, no minors may participate), can provide peer interactions for young adults with disabilities at social events, including cultural events, informal get-togethers, life-long learning classes, community service projects and participation in Special Olympics. Social Outings and Recreation (SOAR) Facilitators: High school and college students (any age) can interact on weekends with those individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities, who need greater oversight than those in the SAIL program.
