for 2013

our missionRuth & Norman Rales Jewish Family Services (JFS) offers help, hope and humanity through our comprehensive range of programs and services which support people of all ages and beliefs.

With locations in Boca Raton and Delray Beach, JFS programs and services include food and financial assistance, senior services, counseling and mental health services, vocational and employment services, as well as many volunteer opportunities.

Funding is provided by individuals, corporations, grants, special events and donors who support our mission and bring hope to thousands in need.

Ruth & Norman RalesJewish Family Services Help. Hope. Humanity.

we are privileged to present you with the 2013 annual report of ruth & Norman rales Jewish family services (Jfs). our fiscal year ending august 31, 2013 was another sensational year for the agency.

during 2013 we expanded our senior services to include a senior companion training program through a grant from the palm Beach county workforce alliance. this grant enabled us to train adults over 55 with low employable skills and provide them with training and experience to become paid companions. as a

result, Jfs applied for and received our homemaker and companion license from the agency on health care administration (ahca) and began filling a need for companions in the community. funds were also secured to start a senior subsidy program for in-home care. the programs at the weisman delray community center expanded with the implementation of the feldman family adventure club, which is in addition to the feldman family diamond club. a part time nurse was also added to the center and provides consultation services to our members and clients.

our counseling and mental health department continued to grow with the addition of in-home counseling and the expansion of our hours of operation to include thursday evenings. our psychological testing department and psychiatry departments once again saw increased growth as more families accessed our affordable mental health services.

one of the biggest highlights of 2013 was the opening of the Jacobson family food pantry which is now providing individuals with both shopping and delivery services. during the year we began the planning stages of a “meals on wheels” program. financial assistance requests continued to grow as the economy continues to stagnate as a result of the government sequestration and cuts to entitlement programs like the supplemental nutrition access program (sNap).

we continue our efforts to leverage partnerships with other agencies while keeping a keen eye on the bottom line. 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 Boca raton, highland Beach and delray Beach.

message from the Board chair aNd the presideNt & ceodear Board memBers, frieNds, supporters, VoluNteers, partNers aNd NeighBors,

Please join us in taking pride in our accomplishments in 2013 and looking forward to good things in the year to come.

sincerely,

rona Blumkin’s face lights up when her senior companion, ann fox, arrives on tuesdays and thursdays. each week rona and ann share a few hours together, shopping and socializing. ann also helps rona with

some household chores and takes her to dr. appointments. rona’s late husband Jack was also a senior companion client. Jack’s companion came each week to keep him company and allow rona to have some much needed respite time. since becoming widowed, rona has had her own senior companion. rona says “knowing that ann is coming gives me something to look forward to.” rona’s children, who live in New Jersey and washington d.c., have peace of mind, knowing that a caring person is there for their mom. ann says “i enjoy being helpful and we have a good time together.”

Nurse Brenda & Jay Glogower

Nurse Brenda asked Jay to take his blood pressure. he was reluctant but another member convinced him to give it a try. Nurse Brenda found his pulse was very low. she immediately called the doctor’s office and an appointment was set up that same day.

Jay underwent an eKg and a chemical stress test where it was determined that one of his medications had to be eliminated and one changed.

the doctor has Jay wear a 24-hour halter monitor to record his heart rhythm. abnormalities showed up and he was scheduled to get a pacemaker. the procedure was a success and Jay is under a doctor’s care with regular checkups. he returned to the center within a few days and he proudly tells all, Brenda saved my life, “she’s an angel.”

linda is a 32 year old woman who came to Jfs with symptoms of depression and anxiety. she had survived a traumatic childhood, filled with physical abuse and neglect by her abusive parents. By the time she contacted our agency for help, she had been severely depressed for over three years. after ending a physically and emotionally abusive relationship with a man that she had been involved with for almost four years, she moved in with her sister’s family. unable to find employment and having no motivation to attend college, she felt she had lost her direction and saw no way to change her life for the better. through counseling she was able to work through the painful issues that still haunted her from her childhood and began making goals for her life moving forward. today, linda is living in her own apartment, is enrolled in college part time and has been employed full time for almost two years. she has been able to make long term plans for her future and hopes to go into nursing in order to help others.

Elinorelinor was born in 1925 in Bronx, New york. after completing high school, elinor went to work for the social work Vocational Bureau - a professional employment agency for social worker’s. elinor was married in 1944 after working for seven years when she retired to become a stay at home mom. elinor moved to delray Beach in 1977 and went to work in 1979 as an executive secretary, then, retired in 1987. elinor is currently president of her association in Kings point. after elinor’s husband died her income was greatly diminished and a friend told her about the Jacobson family food pantry at Jfs and she has been a recipient for the past six years. “when the pantry opened in delray it was just amazing to me because i could go to the pantry and select the items and brand names that i have been using all along. the shelves in the pantry are always well stocked and dennis and his staff are always pleasant and happy to help in any way possible.”

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, friendly visits and care packages.
