SERVICES AND PROGRAMS
The range of services offered by the Jewish community for its members and for
the general public is varied and wide-ranging, with the community priding
itself on offering high-quality services. Though it is not pos sible to provide for
all needs in all parts of the Greater Philadelphia area, the organized Jewish com-
munity hopes that people will take advantage of available programs and services
to which they are en titled. Almost all Jewish communal agencies charge fees on
a sliding-scale basis or make other provisions for assisting those with limited
financial means. Residents of the five-county region are eligible to use these
services, as are local college students, visitors and members of the armed serv-
ices stationed nearby.
