Care when it counts, help when it matters

No one should face hardship alone. For 130 years, CJP has upheld the Jewish value of caring for our neighbors, all our neighbors. Today, with our partners and your support, Greater Boston is a place where help is there when you need it and where everyone can give back.

Our caring work

When people face financial crisis, mental health struggles, disability, or the challenges of aging, we help ensure they get the resources they need.

Basic needs and safety

Through CJP’s Warmline, we partner locally to deliver financial assistance when a crisis hits. We also help those facing or fleeing domestic violence find safety.

Mental health support

Mental health challenges don’t wait. We support our partners in scaling up essential services, from operating the Mental Health Connect resource line to connecting people with local therapists.

Disability assistance

Through our partners, we help people with disabilities launch careers and empower schools to fully serve students with diverse learning needs.

Older adult services

As we age, life changes bring new needs. CJP connects older adults and their caregivers to support services across Greater Boston.

Jewish Assistance Network

JAssist makes getting help simple: access local resources anonymously, with no paperwork, for legal, financial, housing, food, health, employment, and family needs.

Scholarships

CJP scholarships make Jewish summer camp, college, and Israel experiences accessible to families who need financial support.

Inclusion and belonging

Discover how CJP fosters belonging across identity, ability, orientation, race, and faith. Inclusive programs help Jewish Greater Boston thrive.

Global caring

Jewish life pulses across continents, and so does CJP's work. We connect and support Jewish communities worldwide, especially Dnipro, Boston's sister city in Ukraine, where our commitment runs deep.
