Message froM the Board Chair and the President & CeoDeAR BoARD MeMBeRs, FRienDs, suppoRteRs, VolunteeRs, CoMMunity leADeRs, pARtneRs AnD neighBoRs,
We are privileged to present you with the 2011 Annual Report for Ruth Rales Jewish Family Service (JFS). The 2011 fiscal year (September 1, 2010–August 31, 2011) was another year of tremendous growth and changes for JFS.
One of the most significant achievements was the opening of the Shirley & Barton Weisman Delray Community Center in November 2010. Since its opening, the Center has become a vibrant hub of activity with over 200 people walking through the doors each day. We invite you to stop by anytime and visit to see what’s happening there!
Our counseling and mental health department saw the addition of psychiatry and psychology services providing an affordable option to the community. The addition of a staff psychologist allowed JFS to renew our partnership with Nova University’s Psychology Department to provide a practicum site for doctoral level students.
The Forster Family Kosher Food Pantry took advantage of partnerships with BJ’s Wholesale Club and was awarded a significant grant from the Walmart Foundation which enabled us to stretch our dollars further. We also stepped up our community food drives and expect to continue to see growth in this area.
Through the generous support of the Viner Family Foundation and Hands on Tzedakah, we added a case manager for families and children in crisis which has proven to be a wonderful addition. We started the Caring Doctors Program in partnership with the Palm Beach County Medical Society to provide short-term, affordable health care to uninsured adults aged 19-64 from area doctors who see patients in their offices and receive sovereign immunity from the partnership.
Our Holocaust program grew over 100% with JFS now serving over 240 Holocaust survivors. Thank you to the Claims Conference, and a supplemental campaign which raised nearly $100K so that we could absorb this increase without starting a waiting list.
As a result of a demonstration grant from the Retirement Research Foundation, we also saw significant growth in our Kibbitz & Ride volunteer driver program which is now serving over 100 seniors providing affordable transportation.
All these successes continue to enhance our ability to provide quality programs and services to the community. None of this could be accomplished without our dedicated staff, caring volunteers, dedicated board and many supporters. We express our heartfelt gratitude to all of you whose generosity helps us to provide hope to those in need living in Boca Raton, Delray Beach and Highland Beach.
We hope you will join us in taking pride in our accomplishments in 2011 and look forward to only good things in the coming year.
sincerely,
Danielle N. Hartman, MNM president & Ceo
Lawrence I. Blair, Esq. Chair, Board of Directors

senior serviCes
Client ProfileEva Shaffron is an 87 year old Holocaust survivor born in the small town of Timisora, in the country of Romania. After liberation, Eva fled to Israel where she married and gave birth to two daughters. After contacting JFS, Eva now receives help in a multitude of ways. In addition to the Forster Family Kosher Food Pantry, Eva also receives case management services, monthly housekeeping, and a few hours of personal care services each week. Eva also receives calls from our volunteer telephone
reassurance program and has a friendly visitor come check in on her between visits from her social worker,
Debbie Lipson. JFS was also able to help Eva apply for food stamps and
Medicaid. Eva says that without the assistance she
receives from JFS she would not be able to live independently in a
safe environment.
Our geriatric care specialists help seniors age in place for as long as possible with dignity and independence. We have many services available including assessment and care coordination, patient advocacy, information and referral, companionship and many socialization opportunities. JFS provides a vital link between seniors living in our community and their loved ones living out of state.

Client ProfileAlex Roth has been volunteering at the Blume Café in the Weisman Delray Community Center since its opening in November of 2010. With the guidance of B’nai Brith youth groups Alex was taught the values of volunteerism. Alex says, “Throughout my adult life, helping people cope with difficult situations has been my driving force. The old adage – ‘tis better to give than receive – is true. Here at the Weisman Delray Community Center, I am able to continue my desire to help people.”

CoUnseling& MentalhealthserviCes
Client ProfileBrian came to JFS seeking help for the treatment of depression, unable to hold a steady job. After seeing one of our licensed social workers for four months, Brian improved his self confidence
and coping skills which helped reduce his chronic depression. He was also able
to find steady employment and began making friends. With each challenge Brian overcomes, he gains more confidence in himself and has a higher level of self-esteem and continues to make progress with the help of a JFS clinician.
JFS offers counseling to individuals and families (including children), many support groups, workshops, psychiatric assessment and medication management, psychological testing, mentoring programs and a free drop-in center for adults with persistent mental illness and/or developmental disabilities.

notes froM those We helPed in 2011“In my darkest days JFS was there to help me not become a statistic. Thank you for helping me keep a roof over my head for me and my family.”
“Thank you, JFS, for your compassion and assistance in helping me buy new glasses for my son. It has made a world of difference in his life. JFS is a life saver!”
“Words can not express my gratitude for all of the help you gave to me. I had nowhere to turn and you gave me hope.”
“Thank you to the folks at the Forster Family Kosher Food Pantry for keeping me going every month with the generous deliveries. Without your food I would be eating very little each day.”
“JFS, you helped our family stay afloat when my wife and I were out of work. The food deliveries enabled us to feed our two daughters. Thank you just does not seem to be enough!”
JFS provides a lifeline to individuals and families in crisis, providing emergency funds for basic necessities and other urgent needs. Since 1996 the Forster Family Kosher Food Pantry has delivered bi-weekly food packages to qualified seniors, individuals and families providing much needed sustenance to those in need. The Caring Doctors Program provides uninsured adults between the ages of 19-64 with pro-bono health care services provided by doctors in the community. We also provide interest-free loans through the Hebrew Free Loan Association and educational school loans through the Jewish Educational Loan Fund.

volUnteer oPPortUnities
Client testiMonialAt the age of 99, Dr. Robert (Bob) Weitz is one of our Forster Family Kosher Food Pantry’s regular volunteers. You can find him each month with his lady friend Pearl, volunteering at our monthly food baggings to benefit the recipients of the food pantry. Being involved is not new for Bob, as his entire life has been devoted to helping others and to being an activist for important causes. The reason Bob likes volunteering for JFS is because he believes “no man is an island” and we need our community to provide assistance and help when it’s needed.
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 over 300 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 and friendly visits.
