Helping people feel safe again - Jewish Family Service of San Diego

Jewish Family Service of San Diego
ANNUAL REPORT 2011– 2012
Helping people feel safe again
When life presents
devastating challenges,
Jewish Family Service
helps people feel safe again.
Dear Friends,
It is our honor to present to you this year’s annual report in our 95th year of
service to our community. This has been a year of continued success during a
period of slow economic recovery.
We are all encouraged by indications of decreased unemployment, increased
housing sales, and fewer bankruptcies and foreclosures. But even with these
positive signs, we also know that some members of our community recover
more slowly than others and still need our help.
Michael Hopkins
This has resulted in a year of record food distribution at our Hand Up Youth Food
Pantry, an increased number of clients in our domestic violence program Project
SARAH, and greater demand for Case Management services.
This year also marked a most significant transition in executive leadership. Jill
Spitzer, after 26 years of outstanding service, retired as the CEO of JFS. We are
pleased that Jill is continuing to lend her wisdom and vision to help us reach our
resource development goals.
Felicia Mandelbaum
We also spent this past year exploring the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to
purchase the building next door to the Turk Family Center, our headquarters on
Balboa Avenue. In July, after almost a half year of study, our Board of Directors
approved the purchase of the building. Our decision was inspired by a magnificent
$2 million lead gift, covering almost two-thirds of the purchase price.
The building is an incredible opportunity to consolidate programs and deliver
services more efficiently. It is also a metaphor for our future. It is an opportunity
to develop new leaders and donors, and to focus on programs and services that
are core to our mission.
Lastly, we earned Charity Navigator’s highest 4-star rating for a fifth consecutive
year, an accomplishment that only 5% of reviewed charities nationwide can
claim. This past year, we touched more than 35,000 individuals, with 90 cents of
every dollar spent on direct service to clients.
Providing the highest quality service efficiently and effectively and improving
the quality of our community are why we are proud to present to you:
Jewish Family Service.

Jewish Family Service of San Diego
2011– 2012
Since 1918, Jewish Family Service has built a reputation as a
community leader in providing critical care, help, and healing to
those in need. Our commitment to alleviating hunger, supporting
those in crisis, assisting the elderly to age with dignity and respect,
and strengthening families remains steadfast. The following are
some highlights:
AGING & WELLNESS SERVICES
CLINICAL & COMMUNITY SERVICES
Meeting the Changing Needs of Aging
Meeting Life’s Challenges
Geriatric Care Management assisted 322 older adults and
their caretakers with planning and coordination of care — 29%
of these clients also received financial assistance to help cover
the costs of moving, medical care, and more.
Breast Cancer Case Management stabilized crises related to
cancer diagnosis for 53 breast cancer patients and their families
through direct service, emergency food, financial assistance,
and advocacy.
The JFS Fix-It Service provided 1,453 minor home safety
modifications and repairs to 381 older adults. This work was
completed by 18 volunteers who generously contributed
1,287 hours.
On the Go: Transportation Solutions for Older Adults
reached a major milestone —100,000 rides provided since its
beginning in July 2008. The program also expanded to Carmel
Valley and Tierrasanta as a result of two SANDAG grants: the
New Freedom Federal Funds and TransNet Senior Mini-Grant.
This year, On the Go delivered 39,766 rides through shuttles,
excursions, Rides & Smiles, and taxi scrip.
The Serving Holocaust Survivors (SOS) program provided
home healthcare, housekeeping, and financial assistance to
122 survivors.
Our three Social &
Wellness Centers were
the place to be with
a variety of daytime
programming including
social, educational,
and physical activities.
The College Avenue
Center, our largest,
attracted more than
32,400 visits. The North
County Inland Center
welcomed 45 participants each day. And the University City
Older Adult Center, which serves an older, more fragile senior
population, averaged 23 daily participants.
“I gave up driving after suffering a stroke.
On the Go has allowed me to venture out of
my home and make new friends. To get out,
see people, see the trees, the cars, the terrain —
it is like a breath of fresh air. My whole life has
changed.” – Client of On the Go
Community Case Management (CCM) provides critical
assistance to individuals and families in crisis. This year,
intervention plans were created for 950 new clients — a 72%
increase from last fiscal year. A CCM Case Manager is present at
Hand Up Youth Food Pantry food distributions to help direct
clients to other JFS programs and services.
The unstable economy continues to affect Counseling clients —
84% are low-income and report being impacted by the loss of
work, risk of bankruptcy/foreclosure, family relationship stresses,
and other issues. During the past year, 356 clients (56% Jewish)
received a total of 3,231 counseling sessions.
Project SARAH (Stop Abusive Relationships At Home) served
497 clients, an alarming 52% increase over the previous year.
Studies show that domestic violence is more likely to occur
in households facing economic stress and will lead to more
frequent and more violent abuse where abuse already exists.
56% of clients also received counseling and 60% of clients
received case management services.
The Patient Advocacy
Program provided
representation for clients
at over 3,000 due process
hearings and responded
to over 3,500 inquiries
and complaints from
clients in acute psychiatric
facilities, crisis centers,
board & care homes, and
skilled nursing facilities. In
October 2012, we presented a countywide training with the
Superior Court, the Public Defender’s Office, and the Public
Conservator’s Office.
FOOD ASSISTANCE
No One Should Go Hungry
Food insecurity continues to be one of the primary entry
points to JFS. The Hand Up Youth Food Pantry distributed
over 343,000 pounds of food (equivalent to 268,238 meals)
to 9,371 individuals, including more than 100,000 pounds
of fresh, nutritious produce. Other highlights include:
marking the 100th military distribution at Camp Pendleton
“Throughout the year, we have faced an
assortment of problems from not being able to
pay a bill to being just a little short for groceries.
JFS has been one of the few constants that we
can depend on to make it through.”
- Military Client of the Hand Up Youth Food Pantry
and Murphy Canyon, delivering Passover packages to more
than 300 local families and 50 troops deployed in Bahrain,
providing 706 Thanksgiving meals to families in need,
becoming a leader in the Hunger Advocacy Network
(a collaborative of food security organizations), and the
involvement of 1,412 volunteers
donating 4,968 hours working
in the Pantry and assisting with
food drives.
Foodmobile is the only kosher,
home-delivered meal program
for seniors and younger disabled
homebound adults in San Diego.
The program delivered more
than 39,600 meals to over 300
clients and Senior Nutrition
served more than 28,000 meals
at the three Social & Wellness
Centers and CO-OP at Town
Park Villas.
“After my divorce, even though I was
working full-time, I couldn’t afford to keep
my daughter in Jewish preschool or pay my
synagogue membership. But JFS was there
for me. They helped me keep Judaism in
my daughter’s life.”
– Client of Supporting Jewish Single Parents (SJSP)
JEWISH CONNECTIONS
Strengthening and Providing Help for Our
Jewish Community
Jewish BIGPals made 17 new matches between mentors and
kids and maintained 56 active matches. Many social events
were planned throughout the year, highlighted by holiday
celebrations, volunteering in the Hand Up Youth Food Pantry,
and a bullying awareness workshop.
The Jewish Employment Network (JEN) helped 73 people in
our community find jobs in a competitive market. More than
390 people attended JEN workshops and 146 people received
career search services. JEN’s business relationships resulted in
327 job referrals for JEN clients.
The Jewish Healing Center provides a uniquely Jewish and
spiritual perspective to challenges and crises. 55 people
received spiritual counseling and 133 people attended
support and bereavement groups. More than 1,200 Jewish
individuals were reached through workshops and events.
Beginning in December, North Coastal Jewish Connections,
funded by the Leichtag Foundation, revealed a significant
need in the North Coastal region for increased programs
and services for the Jewish community. 309 individuals
received referrals and more than 150 participants attended
group events — 94% of event participants reported feeling a
stronger connection to the Jewish community. The program
served as an entry point for 39 North Coastal residents to
access our full range of programs.
The Rubenstein Family Scholarship awarded $20,000 in
2011– 2012. Recipients attended SDSU, UCSD, Wesleyan
University, and other schools of higher learning.
Supporting Jewish Single Parents hosted its 6th Annual
Family Camp Weekend, which was attended by a record
41 families (110 participants). With assistance from the
Leichtag Foundation, 12 children attended Jewish preschool
or day school, 43 children attended Jewish summer camp,
and 9 children attended religious school.
PARENTING,
YOUTH & TEEN
LEADERSHIP
Building Strong Families &
Tomorrow’s Leaders
Adoption Alliance continues
to be one of only two agencies
in San Diego County licensed
to provide both domestic and
international adoption services.
18 children were placed with
families and 49 families are
currently waiting to adopt. 97
individuals participated in Stars of David programming for
Jewish and interfaith adoptive families.
Girls Give Back launched with great success in July 2011.
The 38 Jewish participants are pursuing their goal to
develop social mindedness, critical thinking, self-esteem,
and empathy. 78% of these young women are registered to
continue in the program in 2012 – 2013.
Hand Up Teen Leadership, comprised of 42 teens from 15
high schools, conducted 41 food drives, raised more than
$11,000 in support of the Hand Up Youth Food Pantry, and
volunteered 2,300 hours — a 500 hour increase over the
previous year.
Launching in February 2012, Pachie’s Place empowers
parents to be more confident, informed, and connected
through education, events, and resources. A blog and social
media presence were established with great response and
Baby Boot Camp, their first event, received high praise.
The Positive Parenting Program (PPP), the largest
evidence-based parent education program in San Diego,
uses the Triple P America model to deliver services to
parents, caregivers, families, educators, and childcare
providers. PPP served 32 Head Start Centers, 24 community
sites, and 7 military locations. The program reached 24,338
children in 36 elementary schools. Improvement was
reported by 97% of attendees.
Preschool in the Park provides low-income families with
the opportunity for a preschool education before entering
kindergarten. More than 65 children regularly attended,
surpassing the program’s goal by 30%.
REFUGEE & IMMIGRATION SERVICES
Helping Our Community Grow Stronger and
More Diverse
Refugee Reception & Placement provided case
management, employment services, cultural orientation,
health education, community outreach, and advocacy
to 303 refugees from Iraq, Myanmar, and Iran. Launched
in January 2012, Citizenship & Immigration prepared
and aided 45 refugees in their application for citizenship.
Employment & Job Placement Services co-hosted an
Employee Resource Summit that was attended by 250
refugees. Many partnerships have been created with local
businesses resulting in 131 jobs for clients.
COACHELLA VALLEY SERVICES
Providing Shelter and Tools to Live Independently
Desert Horizon Transitional Housing places homeless
individuals directly from the streets and emergency shelters
into transitional housing units with supportive services. The
program served 76 individuals — 81% found employment
within six months of entering the program.
“After successfully finding a job through the
Jewish Employment Network, my family extends
their thanks to the JFS team. I am now in a much
better place to care for myself and to provide
for my family.” – Client of Jewish Employment Network
Desert Vista Permanent Supportive Housing is the only
program of its kind in the Coachella Valley specifically
targeting chronically homeless and disabled individuals.
The program served 50 clients — overall client living skills
improved by 97% based on their ability to provide self-care.
Roy’s Desert Resource Center is a homeless center in
Western Coachella Valley. 783 clients left the streets and
received case management, access to resources, and shelter
at Roy’s this past year. 72% of the clients moved on to
secure and affordable housing.
“Jewish Family Service’s track record
of integrity, service, and compassion is
a treasure for our community. We are
proud to be supporters—we know our
donation will change someone’s life.”
– Robert Rubenstein & Marie Raftery
VOLUNTEER ENGAGEMENT
The Heart of Jewish Family Service
Program by program and mitzvah by mitzvah, JFS volunteers
are vital to our ability to provide help to the community.
Over 62,850 hours were donated — totaling more than
$1,488,437 worth of in-kind services. On average, 1,019
volunteers were active with 133 new volunteers joining
each month. 552 families had their holidays brightened
with Embrace-a-Family gifts. More than 50 young,
socially-minded Jewish professionals were part of Emerging
Leaders, where they performed service projects and raised
more than $15,000 with the Brushes + Forks event.
FUNDRAISING
The Vital Link That Makes Our Work Possible
The generous support of the community enables us to
be the lifeline for so many. We truly appreciate all who
make Jewish Family Service a priority in their giving. A
few highlights:
• 575 people attended our annual Heart & Soul Gala,
raising more than $1.1 million. This year’s event was
A Legacy of Service, which honored the inspiring
leadership, accomplishments, and communal service
of CEO Jill Borg Spitzer, who retired after 26 years.
• Our Friends of the Family are special donors who give
$1,000 or more during the JFS Annual Campaign. This
year, 359 Friends contributed more than $3.2 million.
• 3,086 generous donors supported our vital work in
2011 – 2012.
CHARITABLE AUTO RESOURCES, INC.
Charitable Auto Resources, Inc. implemented some exciting
changes over the last year. We teamed with On the Go to
form a new nonprofit,
Charitable Adult Rides
& Services, Inc. We saw
an increase of 28% in
net revenue as a lack
of used car inventory
increased the worth of
donated vehicles. Unit
prices increased by 17%,
allowing us to increase
our profitability despite
declining numbers of
vehicle donations. At the end of the year, used car donations
began to stabilize and even increase in some sectors as more
Americans started buying new cars.
