Dear Friends,
The last year has been phenomenal for Jewish Family Service and we want
to thank each of you for all you do to make our success possible. Your
contributions, volunteer service, leadership, and vision are what make this
agency great. It truly is all because of you. We work together. We struggle
together. And we celebrate together.
JFS’s accomplishments over the past year were many—and all worthy of
celebration:
•W
e launched AgeForward Consulting Services to help seniors and their families
navigate the complexities of growing older by connecting them with resources
and helping them plan ahead.
•T
hanks to a $911,000, three-year grant from the Colorado Health Foundation,
JFS launched our second Naturally Occurring Retirement Community (NORC)
project. Colorado Senior Connections Wheat Ridge is providing a wealth of
services for hundreds of seniors, including wellness, socialization, community,
and activities to keep them healthy, safe, and engaged.
•W
e received a generous $1 million endowment from the Vera and Joseph Dresner Foundation to provide food
and emergency financial aid to people in crisis in our community for years to come.
•W
e took over the operation of Lunchbox Express, a program that feeds Denver’s most vulnerable children
during the summer, when they don’t have access to the free and reduced-cost lunches that they get during
the school year. Founded three years ago by Hannah and Allen Levy, the program delivers nutritious lunches
to thousands of children where they live, Monday through Friday, all summer long. The program has been
predominately funded for the next three years by the Vera and Joseph Dresner Foundation.
•W
e celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Weinberg Food Pantry. What started as a small kosher food pantry
in 1994, serving food boxes to a handful of Jewish clients, has grown into one of the largest food pantries in
southeast Denver, serving 1,200 clients from all walks of life each month.
Agency operating revenue increased by $415,000 this year. Our annual operating revenues have doubled
since 2005 and are now $9.9 million! During the same period, we have significantly increased the number
of people served.
Moving forward, we will continue to build upon our strengths as experts in geriatric care, mental health
counseling, services for those with developmental disabilities, and intervention for people in crisis.
JFS is changing lives in our community: 25,000 lives each year. And we’re doing it because of your commitment,
generosity, and hard work.
We’re so very proud of our wonderful staff, dedicated board, committed volunteers, and generous donors. You
make it all possible.

JFS SENIOR
Solutions
JFS Senior Solutions broadened its support of vulnerable seniors in our
community in 2014. The department supported 3,322 seniors with
homemaker visits, care management, counseling services, and activities.
Our expert staff of geriatric professionals is focused on helping older
adults live safely and independently in their own homes.
We launched our new NORC (Naturally Occurring Retirement
Community) program in Wheat Ridge, thanks to a three-year $911,000
grant from the Colorado Health Foundation. JFS is the lead agency
on the project and is working with our core partners: Jefferson Center
for Mental Health, HealthSET, Seniors’ Resource Center, Brothers
Redevelopment, Colorado Latino Age Wave, Rose Community
Foundation, and the City of Wheat Ridge. The program is providing a
growing population of seniors with greater access to healthcare, mental
health, and social engagement where they live.
This program builds on our successful program in Edgewater and
demonstrates that this model of services to seniors can work on a larger
scale. In all, the two NORC programs served 632 seniors with 47
different activities.
In 2014, the Senior Solutions group launched AgeForward Consulting
Services, a program to help older adults and their families navigate
senior support systems. Using the incredible knowledge of our staff, we
have formalized our consulting services to remove the uncertainties that
come with growing older.
Boulder JFS served 439 people in 2014 with care management, Shabbat
and holiday services in senior communities, and volunteer visits. With
only two staff members, 198 volunteers contributed 2,114 hours of
service, providing companionship to isolated seniors. Boulder JFS
played an integral role in responding to the devastation of the September
2013 floods as the designated agency to distribute funds raised by
JEWISHcolorado. More than $297,000 in grants were distributed to 53
impacted families.
The JFS at the JCC program offers an important social outlet for Jewish
seniors with daily kosher meals, activities, and day trips. The program
provided 783 seniors with 72 activities and served 8,139 meals in 2014.
JFS at Home, a fee-based homecare service for seniors and people with
chronic illness, served 108 clients and provided nearly 39,000 hours of
homecare services.

A Gift From the Heart
Ray Reddick, 77, has struggled
with lymphoma, macular
degeneration, a knee replacement,
and profound hearing loss over the
past few years. His hearing issues
prevented him from attending
social gatherings, watching TV,
or interacting with family over the phone. He
was becoming increasingly isolated and it deeply
affected his wife, Sue, as well.
Laura Harter, a care manager with JFS, introduced
the Reddicks to Dr. Rob Gardner, a local
audiologist who volunteers with JFS to perform
hearing tests for low-income seniors and fit them
with hearing aids. His goal is to help seniors
hear better. He provides evaluation services and
hearing aids for free to those clients who can’t
afford them.
According to Dr. Gardner, hearing loss is the third
most common treatable disabling condition in
America. “If you can’t hear, you can’t connect
with people,” he says. “When people can hear
again, it instantly opens doors and changes lives.”
Dr. Gardner is passionate about helping people in
need. “What’s the point of diagnosing a hearing
problem if you can’t treat it?” he says. “I’m able to
source used hearing aids that are as good as new.
I love being able to make such a difference in
someone’s life.”
Dr. Gardner was able to get Ray a donated set of
hearing aids. It was a huge help for Ray and Sue,
as their income has become limited with Ray’s
increasing healthcare costs.
Ray can hear again. He enjoys classical music
and delights in introducing kids to great music by
giving away CDs of his favorite works. Not only
can he hear his music once again, but he can hear
children’s voices, which is something he missed
most of all.
“Working with Dr. Gardner has been a blessing,”
says Sue. “He never treated Ray like a charity
patient. He always greeted us with a warm smile
and was truly interested in our well-being.”
“JFS truly is our safety net, but I’ve never been
made to feel like we were getting charity,”
explains Sue. “It feels like a gift from the heart.”

MENTAL
HEALTH
Services
Our therapists are dedicated to providing the highest-quality treatment
to people experiencing trauma, anxiety, loss, or depression. We work to
strengthen healthy communication, resiliency, and coping skills.
In 2014, Jewish Family Service Mental Health Specialists provided
5,497 therapy sessions to 619 individuals. In addition, we conducted an
ongoing support group to help those dealing with the persistent mental
illness of a family member.
JFS is fostering a safer, healthier community by making quality mental
health treatment more accessible to those who need it, including
children and teens, the uninsured, and those on Medicaid.
Our KidSuccess program places experienced therapists in area schools,
giving children and adolescents access to quality mental health care so
they can succeed academically. We are promoting effective problem
solving and positive social development. In 2014, KidSuccess operated
in 12 public schools in Denver, providing direct mental health care to
more than 500 students. This program also partners with family members
and school staff.
Refugee children have very different needs as they struggle to succeed
in school, learn English, and adapt to life in a modern society. The
International KidSuccess program is working in six area public schools,
giving refugee students and their families a safe place to receive
culturally sensitive care and the tools to adjust to life in America.
More than 550 refugee students participated in the program during the
2013–2014 school year.
The JFS Jewish Community Chaplaincy program focuses on providing
direct spiritual care to those who are ill, in crisis, or near the end of
their lives—in hospitals, nursing homes, mental health institutions,
correctional facilities, or at home. In 2014, we visited 1,061 people in
hospitals and prisons, and co-facilitated two bereavement groups with
a grief therapist. The chaplaincy program provided an important Jewish
connection to hundreds of isolated community members.
A New Life
Two years ago, Murtada Al
Gharrawi was a professional
weightlifter in Iraq and worked as
a personal trainer with the U.S.
military in Baghdad. One day he
was driving with his 18-year-old
sister when militias forced his car
off the road. In the confrontation that followed, the
men killed Murtada’s sister right in front of him. He
was kidnapped and endured three weeks of brutal
torture. At one point, he was left unconscious for
six hours after a particularly vicious beating.
When he was released, he knew he had to flee the
country. His contacts with the American military
helped him escape to Jordan. There, he underwent
two hip replacement surgeries, treatment for a
bullet wound to his knee, and a shoulder surgery.
The Iraqi militias were still after him. Sadly, he
learned that when his brother-in-law couldn’t tell
them of his whereabouts, they killed him on the spot.
Murtada decided to take his family to America and
was resettled in Denver. When he arrived, he was
very depressed and was contemplating suicide. He
was overwhelmed with guilt over the deaths of his
sister and brother-in-law and worried constantly
about his mother and two sisters who remain in
Baghdad. He was also stressed over his finances.
The high rent on a small apartment for his wife
and two children left them nothing to live on. He
was referred to JFS Refugee Mental Health for
counseling.
JFS’s Refugee Mental Health therapists not only
worked with Murtada to overcome his emotional
issues but also helped him secure disability benefits
and access to affordable housing. Now Murtada
and his family live in a tidy house with a yard. He
pays only $300 per month and, along with food
from the Weinberg Food Pantry, can support his
family.
Murtada is still adjusting to life in America and
dealing with dark memories of his past. It’s hard for
him to concentrate, but he’s improving. Instead of
suicidal thoughts, he’s now focused on providing
for his children. He wants to work with other
refugees who have had similar experiences and
help them.
“I give my appreciation to everyone at Jewish
Family Service,” he says. “I want to get more
involved with JFS because they help so many
people.”

DISABILITY AND
EMPLOYMENT
Services
SHALOM Denver spent the year expanding upon its “prevocational
services” model. We are focused on preparing our clients with
developmental disabilities for more integrated work opportunities in the
community through a combination of paid work experience, classroom
training, and individual program/employment planning. To complement
our work-floor experience, we offered an array of training classes,
including a computer lab. The staff developed thoughtful curriculums,
activities, and lesson plans and our clients are extremely enthusiastic
about participating in the classes.
The combination of vocational training, assessment, job seeking and
retention classes is preparing our clients to participate in our onsite work
teams (enclaves), including Xcel Energy and our greenhouse enclave at
The Emerald Leaf Wholesale Greenhouse. We have also contracted with
one additional company to provide an onsite enclave team, giving our
clients integrated real-world work experience.
Our popular SHALOM Peace Planters have captured the attention of
several prominent retailers, most notably Tagawa Gardens, which has
started carrying the line in its popular retail store.
Our Employment Services area is focused on working with clients to
secure employment so that they can move from receiving government
benefits to receiving paychecks. We served more than 300 clients and
their families with a wide array of services, helped hundreds gain new
employment skills, and helped nearly 100 people move off public
assistance and into full-time jobs. We had an 83% employment rate for
clients who successfully completed the program. An impressive 72%
were still employed after six months.
The Jewish Disabilities Network (JDN) has worked tirelessly to increase
inclusion for our Jewish clients with disabilities at several Denver-area
synagogues and has continued to connect clients and families to vital
resources throughout the Denver metro area.
We provided 24/7 care to seven adults with developmental disabilities
in our beautiful group home.
A Bright Future
Lakiesha Shears completed her
associate’s degree in Applied
Science in Respiratory Care in
2009, but despite having over 13
years of experience working in
medical settings, she couldn’t get
a job in her field. She worked as
a sterile instrument processing technician for two
years, earning just $12 an hour, and was becoming
discouraged. It wasn’t enough to sustain her and
her two boys. She wanted to work with patients
and use her education. By the time she came to the
SHALOM Denver Employment Services program,
she was ready to give up and start over.
This program helps people who are receiving
government benefits to secure employment and
become self-sufficient. The SHALOM Denver
team determined that Lakiesha had all the skills,
qualifications, and motivation to get an excellent
job in her field. She simply needed to work on her
job-search skills. Armed with a new resumé, cover
letter, interviewing practice, and renewed hope,
Lakiesha was offered a job as a respiratory therapist
within two weeks of starting the program.
Today, seven months later, Lakiesha is working at
Vibra Hospital, an acute-care hospital in Thornton,
where she earns $31 an hour.
“The SHALOM Denver program is set up to help
you get the job you really want, not just any job,”
says Lakiesha. “They gave me the skills I needed
to succeed.”
Lakiesha knew that the SHALOM program was
different the minute she walked in the door. “They
wanted us to dress for work every day so that we
would always be prepared for an opportunity,” she
explains. “The class was focused on developing
skills that would make us successful in a work
environment—everything from securing child care
to getting along with coworkers.”
“The staff was excellent and very supportive,” she
remarks. “What impressed me most was that the
SHALOM Denver staff was so supportive of each
other. It set a great example.”
Today, Lakiesha is optimistic about her future. “My
future has never looked brighter,” she says. “But it’s
not just about me. It’s about my kids and my nieces.
If they can see me work hard and achieve success, it
will be easier for them to follow and achieve success
of their own.”

FAMILY
SAFETYServices
NET
JFS Family Safety Net Services provides case management, food, and
emergency financial aid to individuals and families in crisis. We help
people in need access benefits and additional community resources to
help them identify and overcome barriers to self-sufficiency.
In fiscal year 2014, the Weinberg Food Pantry distributed 494,028
pounds of food to low-income households, benefiting more than 4,100
individuals. JFS served 279 households with $317,459 in emergency
financial assistance, including rent, utilities, transportation, and
medical costs.
In the spring we conducted a 12-week class, “Getting Ahead in
a Just-Gettin’-By World,” for a group of our clients. This intensive
workshop helps individuals increase their financial literacy and design
a personalized action plan for escaping poverty. We were proud of the
11 individuals who graduated from the program.
Our staff has been trained as facilitators of “Bootstraps,” a financial
education course. We offered a number of courses this year to clients,
who learned how to build financial stability with limited resources.
In 2014, JFS acquired the Lunchbox Express program, which delivers
nutritious lunches to low-income children in the summer when they
don’t have access to free or reduced-fee lunches at school. Overall,
923 individuals received 11,883 meals at 13 sites in Denver and
Aurora during the first month of operation.
Our recently launched employment case management program helps
clients at risk of homelessness overcome employment barriers, get
assistance with job searches, create dynamic resumés, and access
additional community resources. This year we helped 64 clients find
employment.
There is a high rate of hunger in our community, and surveys of our
pantry clients tell us that they have to skip meals and worry about
having enough food. In addition to providing food, we help clients
access food benefits. Thanks to a generous grant from MAZON: A
Jewish Response to Hunger, we launched a new initiative called Senior
Solutions to HungerTM that helps qualified seniors apply for and gain
access to SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits.
A Second Chance
Divorce. Unemployment.
Homelessness. “These are what
happen to other people, I thought,”
says Mike Wojcienchowski.
Mike, 52, has lived in Denver
for 27 years. He had a good job
doing computer-aided design
and drafting work for municipal water projects.
Then in December 2009, he was laid off. He had
no concerns. “I’ll get another job, no problem,”
he recalls. Largely because of the recession, it
didn’t happen…and it didn’t happen. Nobody was
building anything and there was no demand for his
design talents.
He applied for unemployment. Before long, he lost
his home. He was able to rent a townhome with
some savings and unemployment income. But still,
there were no jobs.
Mike did everything he could to find work. He went
back to school and earned an associate’s degree to
become a water operator, but quickly learned that
he couldn’t compete with younger candidates for
those jobs.
Mike ran out of money in June 2013 and was
evicted. He then rented a room, but lost that. As a
result, he was sleeping in the back of his truck with
his two dogs, Jada and Jazz. He looked for empty
parking lots at shopping centers or churches, hoping
the police wouldn’t catch him. By September, he
was penniless.
“It was a very rough time,” he says. “I didn’t know
where my next meal would come from.”
Mike finally landed a position with a small water
district and rented an apartment nearby. But the job
didn’t last and he was again facing homelessness.
Someone at his church’s food pantry suggested he
contact JFS for help. He called and scheduled an
appointment for the next day. He was given access
to the food pantry and was provided with rent
assistance so he could keep his apartment. Then
he met with an employment specialist, who helps
clients with job searches.
Staff worked with Mike to improve his resumé and
interviewing skills. Soon after, he received a call
from a friend in his job-search network about a
design job with a local engineering firm. This time,
he was ready. Mike applied and got an interview. He
was called back the next day and went to work. He
is now back on the path to self-sufficiency.
“I’m a guy who believes in second chances,” says
Mike. “JFS gave that to me and I’m grateful.”

VOLUNTEER
Services
Volunteers are an essential resource for Jewish Family Service. Their
impact is immeasurable, not only for the agency but for the community
as a whole. Volunteers significantly extend the reach of our staff
and allow us to fulfill our mission of service to the vulnerable in our
community.
This year, the Volunteer Services Department mobilized 949
volunteers. Whether it’s volunteering in the Weinberg Food Pantry,
serving as a Friendly Visitor to an isolated senior, supporting our
fundraising events, or sharing a skill with the organization, there are
multiple ways that individuals, families, and business groups help
make a difference in the lives of the people we serve.
•A total of 949 volunteers contributed 27,607 hours of service to
JFS in 2014, representing a 24% increase over the prior year.
•The value of volunteers to the agency is estimated at more than
$692,000.
•A total of 328 volunteers spent 7,194 hours sorting, distributing,
and delivering 494,028 pounds of food.
•Para-chaplain service leaders conducted 306 holiday and Shabbat
services for 847 residents of nursing homes, assisted-living facilities,
hospitals, and prisons.
•Seventy Friendly Visitor volunteers provided 3,336 hours of
companionship to senior clients.
•Ninety-eight Lunchbox Express volunteers distributed 11,883
lunches to children during the program’s first month of operation.
•Thirty-six volunteers distributed and delivered Thanksgiving
and Passover foods to 293 households.
A Humbling Experience
Julie Shpall remembers her first
day of volunteering with Lunchbox
Express, a new JFS program that
gives free lunches to low-income
children during the summer. “I
got on a repurposed school bus
with Bill Norberg, the bus driver,
and I really didn’t know what
was about to happen,” says Julie. “We pulled up to
Shadow Tree Apartments in Aurora and the minute
the neighborhood children saw the bus, they came
running. As they lined up, I could see the excitement
on their faces. As we passed out lunches, I felt
energized and knew I was contributing to something
meaningful.”
That day, Julie, along with others, served a total of
303 lunches, as well as providing the children with
books. The meals are provided to all children 18
years old and under, no questions asked.
Volunteering for Lunchbox Express has been a
rewarding and humbling experience for Julie. “The
lunches JFS provides are sometimes the only meal
these kids eat that day,” she explains.
“This program is an absolute necessity for hundreds
of children in our community.”
Julie is a tutor with the No Child Left Behind
program at Aurora Public Schools, so she had
the summer off. She was looking for a volunteer
opportunity that involved working with kids, and
Lunchbox Express proved to be the perfect solution.
She signed up for a weekly shift and loved the
experience. “I love children and I had the time to
devote to it. Seeing them every week, I was able to
develop some really special relationships. It doesn’t
get better than that.”
Julie recalls that it was also great to watch the kids
who volunteered from Regis High School and Ken
Caryl Leadership Camp who had the opportunity
to see what was going on in another part of the city
from where they live. “It was eye-opening for them,”
says Julie. “We brought hula hoops, bubbles, and
balls and played with the kids. We cleaned hands
and faces and blew noses, whatever we could do to
help. Most of all, everyone had fun.”
“Lunchbox Express is a special program that’s truly
helping people in need in our community,” says
Julie. “It’s beautiful and it’s making a real difference
in children’s lives.”
