Trying to figure out Medicare on your own can feel overwhelming.

Your prescription needs and Medicare plans can change from year to year, so the coverage that worked for you last year may not be the best fit this year.

If you’re struggling to find a plan that fits your needs, we can help.

Funded in part by a grant from the Birmingham Jewish Federation & Foundation, CJFS offers Medicare Part D consultations to help you understand your choices and identify the plan that makes the most sense for you.

With Open Enrollment coming up in October, you don’t have to wait until then to start preparing. Taking time now to understand your coverage can make the process feel a little more manageable.

For our neighbors with limited income, transportation challenges, or health and mobility concerns, a simple shopping trip feels like a much bigger obstacle.

That’s where community partnerships can make a meaningful difference.

Through our partnership with Goodwill, CJFS helps our neighbors in need to access clothing and household necessities that might be affordable otherwise. They can use Goodwill vouchers to select the items they need. And when shopping independently isn’t possible, volunteers and Goodwill employees step in to purchase items on their behalf and deliver it to their door.

We’re grateful for the partnerships and helping hands that make this kind of community support possible!

For seniors living on fixed incomes, rising food and living expenses can make it difficult to afford nutritious food.

The Senior Grocery Initiative (SGI) is one way our community comes together to help.

In partnership with the Community Food Bank of Central Alabama and the Junior League of Birmingham, CJFS provides eligible seniors ages 60+ with 30 pounds of food each month. Each bag is hand-packed by our wonderful team of volunteers.

Programs like SGI are possible because people are willing to give their time and come together to support their community. We’re grateful to everyone who plays a part in making sure our neighbors have the food they need!

If you’d like to volunteer with SGI, please contact Caleigh at [email protected].

Strong communities are built when organizations come together to care for their neighbors.

CJFS is grateful to partner with First Light to support women and children experiencing homelessness in Birmingham.

Through this partnership, our volunteers give their time, connect with their neighbors, and contribute to the important work happening right here in Birmingham.

We’re proud to be part of a Birmingham community that continues to show up for one another.

Infertility can be experienced in many different ways and forms, and there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to finding support.

Jewish Fertility Foundation–Birmingham provides free support programs for individuals and couples of any faith, with resources designed to meet you wherever you are in your journey.

Find connections through virtual support groups, one-on-one peer support through Fertility Buddies, and online communities where you can ask questions and learn from others who have been there.

All support programs are FREE and open to ANYONE regardless of religious background. You don’t have to have all the answers, and you don’t have to go through it alone.

When you’re navigating Medicare (whether for yourself or a parent or loved one), it’s not always easy to know which options are right.

Medicare prescription drug plans can be confusing, and the plan that worked well last year may not be the best fit this year.

With Medicare Open Enrollment beginning in October, now’s a good time to take a closer look at your (or your parent’s) coverage and make sure you’re prepared for the year ahead.

Funded in part by a grant from the Birmingham Jewish Federation & Foundation, CJFS’s Medicare Part D consultations can help you and your loved one compare options and find a plan that makes sense for your medications and budget.

We’re here to help so you don’t have to make decisions alone.

Open Enrollment begins October 15th! Learn more about our Medicare Part D consultations and schedule an appointment: https://ow.ly/Il2T50ZOR0B

Everyone deserves the opportunity to gather with their community.

Honor Our Parents brings generations together for a welcoming daytime Shabbat experience, offering fellowship for older adults who may find evening services difficult to attend.

For those who are unable to drive themselves, getting there can be the biggest barrier to participating. We’re looking for volunteers who can support their neighbors by providing transportation.

By offering a ride, you can help someone join us for Shabbat services and spend time in fellowship with their community.

What does healing look like after experiencing profound loss and trauma? For four young survivors of the Nova Festival, it has meant finding their own ways forward through music, faith, art, and connection.

This year’s October 7th Community Commemoration will feature Still Dancing: Four Ways Forward After Nova. The film follows four young Nova Festival survivors as they navigate their own journeys toward healing.

CJFS is proud to co-sponsor this year’s October 7th Community Commemoration with organizations across our community.

Join us on October 6th for this special film screening, an Israeli Market, and a panel discussion with ESEK, co-founder and Israeli Nova Festival Artist at the Levite Jewish Community Center.
