From a 24 year-old client, October 2013:
“I just wanted to write a note of thanks for the compassionate assistance provided by Jewish Family Service. While experiencing financial hardships, it’s easy to feel devalued and fearful when asking for help. Thank you for your generosity and for the genuine kindness in every action. Respectfully, R.”
From a single mother and her children, December 2013:
“Dear Jewish Family Service, Thank you so much for your help and support. Your generous gifts allowed us to move into a wonderful home, as well as have a great Holiday for my two children. You have filled our hearts with love, and we wish you the same. Sincerely, L., L. & B.”
Words of thanks from those helped by JFS ...
We are pleased to present Jewish Family Service’s 2013 annual report to you. Last year JFS served
nearly 700 individuals and families. JFS supports everyone in our community. We help people face life’s
challenges — illness, aging, financial uncertainty, mental health concerns, family problems, or personal issues.
Whether serving the elderly and their caregivers, offering counseling to individuals and families, or being that
safety net for those in distress, we continue to strive to provide the best possible programs and services for all.
As 2013 ends and we look to the year ahead, the future for the agency looks bright. Thank you for
letting us share with you information herein on many happenings at JFS over the past year, including:

Dear Friends of Jewish Family Service:
We were privileged in September to move to bigger office space (upstairs in the same building), with no
increased rent or other costs, which is more practical to better accommodate our clients and administer our
programs, with some room to grow;
In October we hosted our sixth annual and most well attended and successful Tribute Dinner yet (pgs. 4-5);
We are seeing the fruition of a new and exciting program for seniors with dementia, Music & Memory (pg. 7);
We are ever-grateful to the members of JFS’s Chai Society, going strong in 2013, its second year (pgs. 2-3);
Along with five other local Jewish organizations, JFS became a founding member of the Utah Community
Legacy Project—formalized this past year — to focus on providing a long-term source of funding for all the
organizations involved (pg. 3);
In addition, we’ve strengthened or created collaborative partnerships with:
Peace House and The People’s Health Clinic in Park City, to extend JFS’s reach to those in Summit and
Wasatch Counties, where we provide clinical assessments and on-going mental health counseling by a
bilingual JFS therapist for victims of domestic violence; as well as with Temple Har Shalom, where JFS hosts
the weekly Park City Career Network, offering networking, job skills and emotional support to those
impacted by the recession and seeking professional employment; and
The Lupus Foundation, The Diabetes Association and The National Multiple Sclerosis Society, and we
are working towards continued expansion to better serve our community in providing counseling and
supportive services to people with all types of cancers and other chronic illnesses, through our
LiveWell: Cancer/Chronic Illness & Caregiver Support Program.
While we are thrilled to report these exciting developments to you, like so many in the non-profit
sector, our small social services agency is still recovering from the Great Recession. Your support is as crucial as
ever at this time when the damaged economy has significantly reduced charitable giving while at the same
time we are experiencing increased demand for our services. Without you we cannot continue to supply food
for the hungry, teach job search skills and offer emotional support to the unemployed, counsel the depressed,
offer resources and comfort to the ailing and infirm, and respite to those caring for loved ones.
We extend our deepest appreciation to our generous donors and funders, our committed staff, our
dedicated Board of Directors, and the many selfless volunteers who give their time and their talents to help us
make our community a better place. A hearty THANK YOU again to ALL who sustain Jewish Family Service and
enable us to remain an open door to those in need.
JFS is a beneficiary of the United Way of Salt Lake, supported by the United Jewish Federation of Utah, and
a member of the Association of Jewish Family & Children’s Agencies.

In the on-going effort to create and improve services to address needs, JFS is launching
a Music & Memory program in the Spring of 2014, the first of its kind in Utah. It is another tool
to help caregivers of people suffering from Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. It
provides personalized music playlists to engage the mind and enable these individuals to
reconnect with the world and those around them through music-triggered memories. This
program has been found to reduce agitation, increase socialization and improve mood and behavior. It is a partnership with the
non-profit Music & Memory (www.musicandmemory.org), as featured in the film "Alive Inside," the Audience Award winner for
U.S. documentary at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival. JFS's Music & Memory program is unique in that it will be one of the handful
of instances in the country where this therapeutic approach will be utilized in clients' homes rather than in a nursing facility, in
furtherance of our mission of aiding independent, healthy and safe aging in the home.
Want to help? JFS needs donations of new and used iPods, iTunes gift cards, or your time as a volunteer. For further
information, please call JFS at 801.746.4334.

The day-to-day outreach, companionship and assistance our volunteers give is an invaluable
component of the support JFS is proud to provide to our clients. JFS’s caring, dedicated volunteers gave over
4,600 hours of time and service in 2013. Priceless! … But if you wanted to quantify the value of that time in dollars —
that’s worth the equivalent of over $102,000!!! (see report below)

Did you know JFS has maintained a food pantry at its Salt
Lake office since 2011? JFS’s Kanfot, the Jewish Community Food
Bank, is a food pantry distributing partner agency with the Utah
Food Bank. As cuts to food stamps and other assistance programs
have gone into effect in recent months and many continue to
struggle with unemployment, more people in need are finding
themselves wondering where to turn for basic necessities. We

The sixth annual Jewish Family Service Tribute
Dinner was held on October 27, 2013 at The Garden Place
at This is the Place Heritage Park, where JFS and the
community celebrated three "Inspiring Women" — Suzanne
Goldsmith, Joanne McGillis, and Irene Tannenbaum —
women who have inspired and influenced our community
with their philanthropic work and endless contributions of
talent, compassion and support to the many worthy causes
dearest to them. On this elegant evening we paid tribute
to these women for lifetimes of good deeds to the Jewish,
as well as general, communities in Utah. Guests heard and
honored stories as told by these amazing women, and by
the many people each of them has inspired throughout
their lives.
JFS extends a big THANK YOU to ALL who supported
the Tribute Dinner—our primary fundraising event of the
year. We are very grateful to our corporate and table
sponsors, and those who gave time and talent to help us
host our biggest crowd ever! And we were extremely
pleased that we met our $25,000 challenge grant, and our
heartfelt gratitude goes to the two generous donors of the
challenge grant who doubled the value of everyone’s
contribution towards the evening's festivities.
The event received wonderful local media coverage
from KSL Channel 5 News, The Salt Lake Tribune and The
Deseret News (visit www.jfsutah.org to see video and
articles). Below are excerpts (Courtesy of KSL News) from
Carole Mikita’s interviews with the evening’s honorees:
"Education eradicates bigotry,
intolerance and violence. So,
what could be better than that?"
– Joanne McGillis
“In our living room, a committee got together a
long time ago to talk about a shelter which didn’t exist. And as a result of that, the rest of that story
you know: we now have The Road Home.“
– Larry Goldsmith, husband of Sue Goldsmith
“I was raised by a widowed mother
and with all the love in the world.
I never knew not to give love back.“
– Irene Tannenbaum
