We are privileged to present you with the 2013-2014 Annual Report for Ruth & Norman Rales Jewish Family Services (JFS). Our fiscal year ending August 31, 2014 was another milestone year for the agency.

One of the major highlights of the 2013-2014 year was the announcement of the “Center for Families and Children” created with a generous gift from the Norman & Ruth Rales Foundation. This transformative gift allowed JFS to expand its services in the areas of Career & Employment Services, Community Outreach, Domestic Abuse Education and Action and Financial Assistance for families and children. These new and expanded programs enabled JFS to deepen our long-standing relationships with our community partners and has provided the resources to help more families and children get the supports they need to be successful.

The Senior Services department saw an increase in the number of Holocaust Survivors coming to JFS for assistance. In addition to many new clients needing help, the needs of our existing clients continued to increase as they are becoming more and more frail. JFS was fortunate to receive an increase in our funding from the Claims Conference, as well as the State of Florida, which has helped us keep up with the needs as they continue to grow exponentially. Our Meals on Wheels Program successfully completed a full year of operations with the support of funds from the Federation and has provided more volunteer opportunities delivering food to home-bound seniors. And, the Shirley & Barton Weisman Delray Community Center continues to amaze and inspire every member who walks through its doors.

At the Jacobson Family Food Pantry we implemented a “customized” ordering system so that even those not able to “shop” at the pantry could place an order for the items they want and have a volunteer personally select and prepare their bag for delivery. We look for bulk purchasing opportunities and continue to drive the cost of food down as a result. Our financial assistance program saw a big jump in funding for seniors through our HOT Senior Assistance Program which enables seniors to receive gift cards for purchases for things like shaving cream, deodorant and other everyday items we take for granted.

We continue to focus on fundraising efforts through Legacy Giving and have secured a number of new donors in our “Visionary” Society which recognizes donors who have left a planned gift to JFS of $100K or more. Rounding out the year was our announcement that due to our sound fiscal management practices and commitment to accountability and transparency, JFS earned a 4-Star rating from Charity Navigator putting us in a very select group of high performing charities of which we are extremely proud.

All of these efforts strengthen our ability to provide innovative programs and services for the community. None of this could ever be accomplished without the efforts of our dedicated board, staff, volunteers and YOU, our supporters. We express heartfelt gratitude to all of you whose generosity helps us provide hope to those living in our community.

JFS provides a lifeline to individuals and families in crisis, providing emergency funds for basic necessities and other needs, including families with special needs children. The Jacobson Family Food Pantry provides bi-monthly food packages to qualified seniors, individuals and families. Meals on Wheels Program provides a prepared meal to those seniors no longer able to cook for themselves.

A total of $420,000 in financial assistance was provided

63 Jacobson Family Food Pantry Food Drives were held throughout the year

90,000 pounds of food was distributed through the Jacobson Family Food Pantry

HIGHLIGHTS

Amy and Paul have two young children ages 1 and 3. Paul worked for a high end hotel in the catering department. He was severely injured on the job. He had to have two surgeries and was on disability for over 6 months. The hotel’s disability insurance only provided 67% of his gross salary. Amy was on maternity leave at the time and while she found a job, it only paid commission with a very small base salary. This distraught couple contacted JFS asking for assistance with food. After paying their bills, they had nothing left for food for their children or themselves. Within 3 hours of their call, the couple was able to shop at the pantry and receive cans of tuna, soup, pasta, sauce, cereal, vegetables, fresh fruit, bread and chicken. After receiving food from the pantry for 4 ½ months they proudly called JFS to say that their lives were put back together and they would not need food from the pantry any longer. They told the Jacobson Family Food Pantry Operations Manager that the Food Pantry saved their lives.

Rebecca Shapiro, a 96 year old resident of the Shirley H. Gould House (HUD housing for Seniors,) has been an active client of Ruth & Norman Rales Jewish Family Services (JFS) since 2008. “The services I receive through JFS are a means of

protection. They give me peace of mind and make me feel safe,” said Rebecca in reference to the Friendly Visitor, Emergency Alert Response System, HOT Senior Assistance Program and Food Pantry Programs. Most recently, Rebecca was hospitalized for foot swelling and a toe infection. She was then transferred to a rehabilitation facility for three weeks. Thanks to the Silverstein Fund, Rebecca was able to receive a home health care aide to assist her 7 days a week, for three weeks, post discharge. “My aide helped take the burden off of me, she was wonderful. I am forever grateful for the services I receive through JFS.”

Catherine’s relationship with the Shirley & Barton Weisman Delray Community Center (WDCC) began approximately two years ago, shortly after her husband passed away. Her first interaction came when she attended JFS’ Bereavement Support Group. Group Leader and Senior Services Outreach Professional, Howard Horowitz, helped her through many tough days. Catherine’s daughter noticed a significant positive change in Catherine’s attitude and enrolled her as a WDCC member. As Catherine attended more and more classes, she got to know many members and developed new friendships. Catherine felt that this was very remarkable for her. “I thought his was not possible at my stage of life, especially after my husband had passed,” Catherine stated. “Being a part of the WDCC provides me with a wonderful feeling. I appreciate everything that the Center has done for me and for all that it stands for.”

Julie is a 50-year-old single mother of four who came to JFS for therapy to treat anxiety and depression. She had previously managed a successful medical billing business, but it closed because her clients were switching to larger companies. After having been recently fired from a job, she began treatment believing that she could never work outside of her home again. The

thought of applying for a job and being rejected, paralyzed her. Through her counseling sessions, Julie began to understand how her anxiety led her to believe that she was incompetent and incapable, but that it was not true. She slowly began to explore job listings and to apply for jobs, despite feeling anxious. The more Julie practiced applying for jobs and going on interviews the more her anxiety decreased and her self-confidence increased. Her depression began to lift and she eventually was able to find a job in which she feels valued and appreciated.

HIGHLIGHTS

Carol is a 25 year old married mother of one child. When she came to JFS, she was pregnant with her second child and her husband had just beaten her. He told her that he was angry she was pregnant again and that he was under too much stress. He wanted her to have an abortion and she refused. Carol wanted to leave him but felt that she had nowhere to go. Carol worked full time but did not have enough money to pay for first and last month’s rent and a security deposit in order to obtain a new apartment. Through Domestic Abuse Education & Action Program, she received counseling and financial assistance to obtain a new apartment and was put on our food pantry. Carol said “JFS literally saved the life of my unborn child.”

HIGHLIGHTS

Robyn, 45, recently relocated to South Florida and found herself with no job or support network. Robyn was referred to CES by JFS’ Outreach Program. Robyn’s Career Strategist and Outreach Social Worker took a team approach to helping Robyn get the services she needed to be successful. “CES supported me through the whole job search process from resume writing to sharpening interview skills. More than anything, I met others in the program who became my support network and are still in my life today.” Robyn currently works as an account manager at a local company. “The advice that I can give to others is to have perseverance, but listen to your Career Strategist. They are so knowledgeable in these areas and truly want to help.”

Volunteers remain critical to our success and we would not be able to provide help to as many people in our community without their gift of time and talent. Each year close to 400 individuals and families, including many teens, donate the equivalent of more than 25,000 hours of service to JFS. Our volunteers mentor children and teens, lead religious services at assisted living facilities and nursing homes, provide rides for seniors in need of transportation, provide care to uninsured adults, and reduce the isolation of homebound seniors through daily telephone calls, friendly visits and care packages.

Judy Goodman, or as thestaff at the Shirley & Barton Weisman Delray Community Center (WDCC) refers to her, “Little Judy”, is a giant among people. She volunteers to do everythingincluding registering over500 people for membershiprenewal in two weeks. Judy teaches the art of Mah-Jongg when members feel they are failing at being a senior because they can’t play. She risks life and limbevery week by checking in

the members to Music Appreciation where eighty people are attempting to get into a class for forty. Judy has volunteered to work Sundays, evening and special events, always with an easy going, positive attitude.

Judy gives tours, answers every question, alerts the office to discrepancies, subs for volunteers that are out and never says “No!” She loves being a part of the WDCC having told us many times “I need you as much as you need me.” “Our Little Judy” is a lovely lady with a great big heart.
