Welcome Home

We're the hub of Jewish life in Southern Maine.

Our mission is to enhance and promote Jewish life and community locally, in Israel and throughout the world, and to generate financial resources to develop, provide and support diverse programs, education and services in order to accomplish these goals.

Find Your People

As a combined Jewish Federation, Jewish Community Center, and Jewish Family Services program, the JCA is here to be a resource for the entire Southern Maine community.

Thanks to the dedication of our staff and the unwavering support of our network, the JCA impacts our community in many ways. Working with an array of organizations and local congregations, we function as the hub of Jewish programming in Southern Maine.

Your membership is an investment in your community. Dues provide important unrestricted support for the incredible range of activities and events offered at the J.

Whether you're looking for a place to build friendships, improve your overall wellness, attend programs with family and friends, or be a part of a community, the JCA is here for you.

Fund your Passions

The Jewish Community Alliance of Southern Maine has been the backbone of our local Jewish community for decades. We have been here in times of joy and celebration, in times of sorrow and mourning, and through change and stability.

It is because of generous donors and thoughtful leaders like you that we are confident that we'll be here supporting our Jewish community for generations to come.

Haven't given yet? Or are you interested in further supporting the work for our community? There are so many pathways to giving, you need only decide what your impact will be!
