With locations in Boca Raton and Delray Beach, Rales JFS programs and services include food & financial assistance, senior services, behavioral health services, family & children's services.  Our mission is to support anyone in South Palm Beach County who needs help, regardless of age or background. Our comprehensive programs strengthen, protect, and empower, with care and compassion. Our vision is to strive for a future where our entire community is accepted, strengthened, cared for, and safe.  Funding is provided by individuals, corporations, grants, special events and donors who support our mission and bring hope to thousands in need.

Through this program volunteers make calls for friendly conversation each week.  Volunteers become special phone friends to homebound seniors by making calls 2-3 times a week. Call times and frequency can be determined between the volunteer and the client.  This is a flexible volunteer opportunity in which the volunteer will schedule dates and times for phone calls directly with the client.  A sample script to start with and tracking details are provided at the time of sign up.
