JFCS Update on Community Services
- Posted On:
With the COVID-19 landscape quickly changing, JFCS is taking actions based on guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS).
The work we do is more important than ever. As an agency that works with vulnerable populations who are most at-risk, we are adapting our programs and reviewing alternative strategies to continue serving those who depend on our services.
