CJFS is an extraordinary nonprofit serving the greater Birmingham community. Dedicated board members, staff and volunteers give countless hours to improve and sustain the lives of the elderly and those seeking healing and support during difficult times. It is incredible how the Jewish community supports this exciting mission and the greater community benefits from them. CAJFS goes beyond and above to be at the helm in providing quality elderly care--and it is an example for us as the boomer generation will increasingly demand quality programs.
