Why We Decided to Leave JFSLA in Our Will

We are thankful for those who have made an estate gift to Jewish Family Service Los Angeles. Learn more about how their gifts have made an impact.

Marcia and Dick Volpert

“JFS has expanded beyond our wildest dreams. It’s important for us to show that the Jewish community is here for the greater Los Angeles community. We plan for the future, and a future beyond us. We have put JFS in our will because we want JFS to be here for the next generation when we’re gone.”

Ann and Phil Colburn

“After decades of supporting JFS, seeing it grow and flourish and change in response to the needs of our community, we could not bear to have it fade away because of a lack of ongoing resources.”

Shana and Don Passman

“JFS is the oldest social service agency in the city of Los Angeles, and it needs to be here for generations to come. We want the essential work that they do in our community to be part of our legacy.”
