Trip Oldfield & Community Impact through JFCS of Orange County

Trip Oldfield serves as the Chief Executive Officer of Jewish Family & Children’s Service (JFCS) of Orange County, a non-sectarian organization dedicated to strengthening the community through comprehensive social services. For over 45 years, JFCS has acted as a vital safety net, providing a wide array of programs designed to support individuals and families through life’s most difficult transitions.

The heart of the organization lies in its diverse service model. JFCS is a primary resource for mental health support in Orange County, offering professional counseling for all ages, specialized support for survivors of domestic violence, and programs tailored to the needs of the local Jewish community. Beyond clinical services, the agency is deeply committed to senior care, providing Holocaust survivor services, case management, and social engagement programs that allow older adults to age with dignity and connection.

As CEO, Trip Oldfield oversees the strategic operations that allow these programs to remain accessible and effective. His work is centered on ensuring the fiscal health and long-term sustainability of the agency, allowing JFCS to respond to emerging community needs—from emergency financial assistance to food security initiatives. Under his leadership, the organization maintains its reputation as a reliable and compassionate pillar of the Southern California non-profit landscape.

By prioritizing collaborative partnerships and community-driven fundraising, Trip and the team at JFCS ensure that no one in Orange County has to face their challenges alone. The agency continues to expand its reach, driven by the core values of "Tikkun Olam" (repairing the world) and a commitment to serving neighbors of all faiths and backgrounds with professional excellence.
