Impacting Our Community with Love
What began as a single bold idea has grown over three decades, into a network of programs born from the same commitment to meeting families and children of all backgrounds where they are.
JAFCO Children’s Village
Where it all began, the JAFCO Children’s Village touches the lives of children who have experienced abuse and neglect. With an emergency shelter and six group homes, the Village can provide safety for up to 50 children at one time.
JAFCO Children’s Ability Center
Just down the street from the JAFCO Village, the Children’s Ability Center expanded the mission of JAFCO to support families raising children with developmental disabilities by offering family strengthening, child enrichment, resources, respite care, and an emergency shelter all within one state-of-the-art facility.
Eagles’ Haven Wellness Center
In the aftermath of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, JAFCO opened Eagles’ Haven, a wellness and trauma center dedicated to helping individuals and families heal and restore hope. It has since become an essential resource for the broader community.
JAFCO FamilyMatters
FamilyMatters brought JAFCO’s signature approach of barrier-free, personalized, and intensive support services to families in the Greater Philadelphia area, proving that the founding vision was never meant to stay in one place.
