Last year I needed help with my application to get my American citizenship and a friend of mine referred me to Jewish Family Service of Metrowest. Malvina and Meghan helped me and went above and beyond to make sure everything was right. I found there people that I can gladlycall friends now. They are very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Thank you so much to all of you at the Jewish Family Service of Metrowest! Vera Norman
I went to JFS to seek help with my U.S Citizenship Application. I had the pleasure to meet Malvina Drummond. She was very caring, knowledgeable and patient. I hope JFS knows what great employee and human being they have there. The receptionist was also very polite. I am very thankful to JFS and Malvina Drummond for such a great experience. V. Norman
Came to JFS at a time when my children desperately needed counseling, but I had no money. The counselor was just terrific - identified a problem w/ one of my children which turned his life around
