JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER OF SAN LUIS OBISPO
Building community locally, connecting globally
Mission
The JCC-Federation of SLO seeks to foster a united community on the Central Coast through programs offering educational, social and recreational activities based on Jewish principles. We strive to "Build community locally, connecting globally." We serve as the focal point of Jewish community life in San Luis Obispo County. We are a non-profit organization enriching life in the area and connecting people of all backgrounds, ages, and religions. The JCC-Federation is a part of the Jewish Federations of North America, a global network of communities. Locally, we are members of the SLO Chamber of Commerce, SPOKES, and the Downtown Association, along with being a partner (through our Jewish Family Services of SLO) with Transitions-Mental Health Association.

Jewish Family Services of SLO
Jewish Family Services of San Luis Obispo (JFS of SLO) is a social service program of the Jewish Community Center-Federation of San Luis Obispo (JCC-Federation of SLO).
Our Mission: Jewish Family Services of San Luis Obispo helps citizens of San Luis Obispo County who are in crisis by providing for essential and emergency needs like food, transportation, and housing through referrals to community agencies, direct aid, and micro-grants.
JFS of SLO provides a helping hand to anyone in our community regardless of religion, race, ethnicity, national origin, gender identity/expression or sexual orientation.
We assist those in need throughout San Luis Obispo County and North Santa Barbara County.
Holocaust Remembrance Program
We are all aware of the very limited time we have to hear these stories first-hand. It is deeply important to pass on the lessons from this time in history.
Learn about the Holocaust, remember survivors and victims, and confront genocide and anti-Semitism.
This program is free of charge and open to the public.
Hanukkah Downtown
JCC-Federation hosts a FREE first night Community Hanukkah Party with music, games, sweet treats, and schmoozing!
Subsequent nights include candle lighting and singing - come out for this great SLO Jewish community tradition.
