Welcome Dear Friends of Jewish Family Service, It is SO good to be together, in person, to celebrate our 10th biennial luncheon and the impact it has had on JFS clients over the last two decades. With your help, we have been able to grow our vast array of effective, accessible, and comprehensive mental health and social service offerings and, in turn, go from serving 7,400 individuals in 2004 to more than 39,000 individuals in 2021. Our heartfelt thanks to Linda Garner and Ethel Zale, as well as our 31 honorary chairs for their tireless efforts to make this event successful over the last 20 years. We could not have seen this kind of growth without you working alongside us to raise funds as we do through this event. For more than 70 years, JFS has met the evolving needs of our community. Since this event’s inception we have provided basic needs and counseling for those impacted or displaced by Hurricanes Katrina and Harvey, supported thousands of individuals and families through the Ebola outbreak and the COVID-19 pandemic, and have been a reliable resource for those experiencing a personal crisis or challenging life or career transition. With comprehensive resources for all ages, backgrounds, and incomes, we continue to provide our core services including play therapy for children, counseling for teens, individual, marital and family therapy, family violence intervention, career and financial coaching, older adult services, emergency assistance and, as of late, expanded access through our newly renovated food pantry. Both JFS Dallas’ national accreditation by the Council on Accreditation and successful service outcomes underscore the quality of our effective coordinated whole-person care. We continue to maintain a 4-Star Charity Navigator rating, an honor that places JFS Dallas among the top four percent of nonprofits nationally. When you donate to our agency, we hope you know you are supporting a credible, responsible organization. The funds raised today are critical to ensuring we always have our doors open to those in need. For guests who are just getting to know us and what we do, we encourage you to learn more about our services and how you can make a difference by visiting our website at www.jfsdallas.org or by contacting us at (972) 437-9950. Thank you for joining us today and supporting our mission. Sincerely,

Help for Today. Hope for Tomorrow. The JFS Foundation supports the long-term viability of the mental health and social services of Jewish Family Service through planned giving and endowments. It allows thoughtful, generous people to make a lasting difference in our community for generations by ensuring the availability of JFS’ high-quality, accredited services for any child, teen, adult, or older adult in need. Establishing a fund or endowment to the Foundation is an investment in the long-term success and viability of the programs and services of JFS. While a yearly contribution to JFS makes an important, direct, and immediate impact, a Foundation fund helps secure the future of JFS services in the community. OFFICERS
