Description
68% of all older adults in Palm Beach County are Jewish and it is estimated that there may be 18,000 Holocaust survivors residing in the area. Alpert Jewish Family & Children's Service of Palm Beach County (AJFCS) was established in 1974. Bringing survivors together is an important part of the work, as well as home-based services.
