JFS Offering Funds, Counseling for Those Affected by Marshall Fire; Har HaShem Sponsoring Insurance Seminars

As the hours and days unfold, we continue to learn more about the devastation caused by the Boulder County fires. We have all been impacted in different ways. Our hearts are heavy.

We are listening to the needs of our community and the desire to help. We are working with our community partners to identify the support we can provide. We have prepared and are continuously updating a list of resources for those impacted and for those who want to help.

Here are a few immediate resources, in addition to the resources in general:
