JFS Releases Video about Its Efforts to Ease Local Pain of Government Shutdown

November 15, 2025

By Dana Toppel

SAN DIEGO — At Jewish Family Service, we’re reminded every day that challenges are easier to face when we stand together. With the Government Shutdown behind us, we have a moment to pause and look back on the past seven weeks.

I’ve been truly moved by how our community came together to support one another. This short video shares just a small portion of that shared effort. Thank you for being a part of a community that lifts each other up.

With many San Diegans still facing critical challenges, our work to uplift our community continues. Your presence—your compassion, your willingness to show up, your trust—helps make San Diego a place where people feel supported and seen.
