*All or partial funds granted through the Jewish Community Foundation ** Of Blessed Memory
This year, you are receiving more
than just an Annual Report from us.
You are reading a unique record of how people
can help each other. Even in the midst of the
worst economic crisis in almost a hundred years.
But the most important news in this annual report is that with your help,
advice, and support, we were able to help beyond the crisis. We were able to
honor our 92-year commitment to those who always need Jewish Family Service:
The oldest among us. The youngest and most vulnerable. Survivors of domestic
violence. Jewish single parents trying to maintain a connection with their heritage.
Individuals and families who need counseling. Military families and those of all ages
who are hungry. Parents searching for the best way to raise their children.
Holocaust Survivors struggling to make it through each day.
This year and every year, Jewish Family Service remains the one source
people count on for a lifetime of help. The place people come to get their
lives back.
For example, our Hand Up Youth Food Pantry distributed almost 165,300
pounds of food and hygiene products this year to 7,246 clients. Case managers
were at 56 food distributions to assess needs and provide more assistance.
Our Economic Crisis Response workshops saw a 109% increase in the number
of clients last year — including many who never before thought they would need
us. We helped people deal not only with job loss and the threat of home
foreclosure, but we also helped them in creating plans to finding jobs and
rebuilding their lives.
JFS Access, the entry point to our counseling and case management programs,
answered 21% more calls compared to last year. Business as usual? Hardly, but
the important fact is that this year we responded to crises and at the same time
maintained all of our programs.
And here is more to be proud of. Charity Navigator, the premier charity
evaluator, awarded us its 4-star rating for the third consecutive year. It puts us in
the highest ranking quarter of all charities examined, and “demonstrates to the
public that we are worthy of its trust.”(Their words, not ours)
All of us — our dedicated Board of Directors, our committed and talented staff,
our faithful volunteers, and the foundations, grantors, and partners we work with,
especially the Jewish Federation of San Diego County and Jewish Community
Foundation of San Diego — share in the achievements of this year. You, too.
We thank you.

*All or partial funds granted through the Jewish Community Foundation ** Of Blessed Memory
This year, you are receiving more
than just an Annual Report from us.
You are reading a unique record of how people
can help each other. Even in the midst of the
worst economic crisis in almost a hundred years.
But the most important news in this annual report is that with your help,
advice, and support, we were able to help beyond the crisis. We were able to
honor our 92-year commitment to those who always need Jewish Family Service:
The oldest among us. The youngest and most vulnerable. Survivors of domestic
violence. Jewish single parents trying to maintain a connection with their heritage.
Individuals and families who need counseling. Military families and those of all ages
who are hungry. Parents searching for the best way to raise their children.
Holocaust Survivors struggling to make it through each day.
This year and every year, Jewish Family Service remains the one source
people count on for a lifetime of help. The place people come to get their
lives back.
For example, our Hand Up Youth Food Pantry distributed almost 165,300
pounds of food and hygiene products this year to 7,246 clients. Case managers
were at 56 food distributions to assess needs and provide more assistance.
Our Economic Crisis Response workshops saw a 109% increase in the number
of clients last year — including many who never before thought they would need
us. We helped people deal not only with job loss and the threat of home
foreclosure, but we also helped them in creating plans to finding jobs and
rebuilding their lives.
JFS Access, the entry point to our counseling and case management programs,
answered 21% more calls compared to last year. Business as usual? Hardly, but
the important fact is that this year we responded to crises and at the same time
maintained all of our programs.
And here is more to be proud of. Charity Navigator, the premier charity
evaluator, awarded us its 4-star rating for the third consecutive year. It puts us in
the highest ranking quarter of all charities examined, and “demonstrates to the
public that we are worthy of its trust.”(Their words, not ours)
All of us — our dedicated Board of Directors, our committed and talented staff,
our faithful volunteers, and the foundations, grantors, and partners we work with,
especially the Jewish Federation of San Diego County and Jewish Community
Foundation of San Diego — share in the achievements of this year. You, too.
We thank you.

The JFS Economic Crisis Response (ECR) Program was created in
the Fall of 2008 to address the impact of the recession on the local
community. In 2009 – 2010, JFS saw a significant increase in the
number of clients in crisis, including those who had never before
needed help, who lost jobs, suffered home foreclosures, and were
unable to pay utility and grocery bills. Beyond emergency relief,
the ECR program also offered workshops, case management, and
support groups to help clients reclaim and rebuild their lives.
• JFS Access received an average of 517 calls per a month, a
21% increase over last fiscal year.
• The Hand Up Youth Food Pantry distributed more than
165,300 pounds of food and hygiene products to 7,246
clients. Case managers attended 56 food distributions to
assess clients’ needs and provide additional assistance.
• The Hand Up Youth Food Pantry conducted 94 food drives
and volunteers spent 3,757 hours packing grocery bags and
stocking and organizing the food pantry.
• 1,342 clients were active in Community Case Management,
which creates specific intervention plans for each client.
• 572 participants received concrete, solutions-based
information by attending ECR workshops, a 109% increase
over last fiscal year.
• Despite a difficult and competitive job market, 41 clients
found jobs through the Jewish Employment Network (JEN).

Change in Net Assets
$532,793
Program services are provided at break-even; the increase in net assets is due to revenue generated
by the car donation program and grants and will be used to fund future social service programs.
Due to the economic crisis, clients often required the services of
multiple programs to meet increasingly complex needs. As a result,
we experienced a heightened demand for community services and
counseling in 2009 – 2010.
• Counseling served 937 clients — up from 812 last fiscal
year. More than half of counseling clients reported being
severely impacted by the economic crisis
• Jewish BIGPals provided mentors to 17 new children,
bringing the total number of matches to 46, the
highest number of matches to date.
• The Jewish Healing Center provided
spiritual comfort and learning for more
than 500 clients through Bikkur Holim,
individual counseling, support groups,
meditation sessions, and retreats.
• Project SARAH helped 220 survivors of
domestic abuse — a 39% increase over
last fiscal year. Outreach efforts
educated nearly 700 adults and teens
about the warning signs of abuse.
Thank you. We are deeply grateful to the individuals,
businesses, corporations, foundations, and agencies who
help Jewish Family Service fulfill its mission.
Older Adult Services
Individuals 60 years and older represent the fastest growing

number of clients in crisis, including those who had never before
needed help, who lost jobs, suffered home foreclosures, and were
unable to pay utility and grocery bills. Beyond emergency relief,
the ECR program also offered workshops, case management, and
support groups to help clients reclaim and rebuild their lives.

21% increase over last fiscal year.

165,300 pounds of food and hygiene products to 7,246
clients. Case managers attended 56 food distributions to
assess clients’ needs and provide additional assistance.

and volunteers spent 3,757 hours packing grocery bags and
stocking and organizing the food pantry.
• 1,342 clients were active in Community Case Management,
which creates specific intervention plans for each client.
• 572 participants received concrete, solutions-based
information by attending ECR workshops, a 109% increase
over last fiscal year.

Change in Net Assets
$532,793
Program services are provided at break-even; the increase in net assets is due to revenue generated
by the car donation program and grants and will be used to fund future social service programs.
Due to the economic crisis, clients often required the services of
multiple programs to meet increasingly complex needs. As a result,
we experienced a heightened demand for community services and
counseling in 2009 – 2010.
• Counseling served 937 clients — up from 812 last fiscal
year. More than half of counseling clients reported being
severely impacted by the economic crisis
• Jewish BIGPals provided mentors to 17 new children,
bringing the total number of matches to 46, the
highest number of matches to date.
• The Jewish Healing Center provided
spiritual comfort and learning for more

individual counseling, support groups,
meditation sessions, and retreats.
• Project SARAH helped 220 survivors of
domestic abuse — a 39% increase over
last fiscal year. Outreach efforts

about the warning signs of abuse.

businesses, corporations, foundations, and agencies who
help Jewish Family Service fulfill its mission.

The JFS Economic Crisis Response (ECR) Program was created in
the Fall of 2008 to address the impact of the recession on the local
community. In 2009 – 2010, JFS saw a significant increase in the
number of clients in crisis, including those who had never before
needed help, who lost jobs, suffered home foreclosures, and were
unable to pay utility and grocery bills. Beyond emergency relief,
the ECR program also offered workshops, case management, and
support groups to help clients reclaim and rebuild their lives.
• JFS Access received an average of 517 calls per a month, a
21% increase over last fiscal year.
• The Hand Up Youth Food Pantry distributed more than
165,300 pounds of food and hygiene products to 7,246
clients. Case managers attended 56 food distributions to
assess clients’ needs and provide additional assistance.
• The Hand Up Youth Food Pantry conducted 94 food drives
and volunteers spent 3,757 hours packing grocery bags and
stocking and organizing the food pantry.
• 1,342 clients were active in Community Case Management,
which creates specific intervention plans for each client.
• 572 participants received concrete, solutions-based
information by attending ECR workshops, a 109% increase
over last fiscal year.
• Despite a difficult and competitive job market, 41 clients
found jobs through the Jewish Employment Network (JEN).

Change in Net Assets
$532,793
Program services are provided at break-even; the increase in net assets is due to revenue generated
by the car donation program and grants and will be used to fund future social service programs.
Due to the economic crisis, clients often required the services of
multiple programs to meet increasingly complex needs. As a result,
we experienced a heightened demand for community services and
counseling in 2009 – 2010.
• Counseling served 937 clients — up from 812 last fiscal
year. More than half of counseling clients reported being
severely impacted by the economic crisis
• Jewish BIGPals provided mentors to 17 new children,
bringing the total number of matches to 46, the
highest number of matches to date.
• The Jewish Healing Center provided
spiritual comfort and learning for more
than 500 clients through Bikkur Holim,
individual counseling, support groups,
meditation sessions, and retreats.
• Project SARAH helped 220 survivors of
domestic abuse — a 39% increase over
last fiscal year. Outreach efforts
educated nearly 700 adults and teens
about the warning signs of abuse.
Thank you. We are deeply grateful to the individuals,
businesses, corporations, foundations, and agencies who
help Jewish Family Service fulfill its mission.
Older Adult Services

*All or partial funds granted through the Jewish Community Foundation ** Of Blessed Memory
This year, you are receiving more
than just an Annual Report from us.
You are reading a unique record of how people
can help each other. Even in the midst of the
worst economic crisis in almost a hundred years.
But the most important news in this annual report is that with your help,
advice, and support, we were able to help beyond the crisis. We were able to
honor our 92-year commitment to those who always need Jewish Family Service:
The oldest among us. The youngest and most vulnerable. Survivors of domestic
violence. Jewish single parents trying to maintain a connection with their heritage.
Individuals and families who need counseling. Military families and those of all ages
who are hungry. Parents searching for the best way to raise their children.
Holocaust Survivors struggling to make it through each day.
This year and every year, Jewish Family Service remains the one source
people count on for a lifetime of help. The place people come to get their
lives back.
For example, our Hand Up Youth Food Pantry distributed almost 165,300
pounds of food and hygiene products this year to 7,246 clients. Case managers
were at 56 food distributions to assess needs and provide more assistance.
Our Economic Crisis Response workshops saw a 109% increase in the number
of clients last year — including many who never before thought they would need
us. We helped people deal not only with job loss and the threat of home
foreclosure, but we also helped them in creating plans to finding jobs and
rebuilding their lives.
JFS Access, the entry point to our counseling and case management programs,
answered 21% more calls compared to last year. Business as usual? Hardly, but
the important fact is that this year we responded to crises and at the same time
maintained all of our programs.
And here is more to be proud of. Charity Navigator, the premier charity
evaluator, awarded us its 4-star rating for the third consecutive year. It puts us in
the highest ranking quarter of all charities examined, and “demonstrates to the
public that we are worthy of its trust.”(Their words, not ours)
All of us — our dedicated Board of Directors, our committed and talented staff,
our faithful volunteers, and the foundations, grantors, and partners we work with,
especially the Jewish Federation of San Diego County and Jewish Community
Foundation of San Diego — share in the achievements of this year. You, too.
We thank you.

*All or partial funds granted through the Jewish Community Foundation ** Of Blessed Memory
This year, you are receiving more
than just an Annual Report from us.
You are reading a unique record of how people
can help each other. Even in the midst of the
worst economic crisis in almost a hundred years.
But the most important news in this annual report is that with your help,
advice, and support, we were able to help beyond the crisis. We were able to
honor our 92-year commitment to those who always need Jewish Family Service:
The oldest among us. The youngest and most vulnerable. Survivors of domestic
violence. Jewish single parents trying to maintain a connection with their heritage.
Individuals and families who need counseling. Military families and those of all ages
who are hungry. Parents searching for the best way to raise their children.
Holocaust Survivors struggling to make it through each day.
This year and every year, Jewish Family Service remains the one source
people count on for a lifetime of help. The place people come to get their
lives back.
For example, our Hand Up Youth Food Pantry distributed almost 165,300
pounds of food and hygiene products this year to 7,246 clients. Case managers
were at 56 food distributions to assess needs and provide more assistance.
Our Economic Crisis Response workshops saw a 109% increase in the number
of clients last year — including many who never before thought they would need
us. We helped people deal not only with job loss and the threat of home
foreclosure, but we also helped them in creating plans to finding jobs and
rebuilding their lives.
JFS Access, the entry point to our counseling and case management programs,
answered 21% more calls compared to last year. Business as usual? Hardly, but
the important fact is that this year we responded to crises and at the same time
maintained all of our programs.
And here is more to be proud of. Charity Navigator, the premier charity
evaluator, awarded us its 4-star rating for the third consecutive year. It puts us in
the highest ranking quarter of all charities examined, and “demonstrates to the
public that we are worthy of its trust.”(Their words, not ours)
All of us — our dedicated Board of Directors, our committed and talented staff,
our faithful volunteers, and the foundations, grantors, and partners we work with,
especially the Jewish Federation of San Diego County and Jewish Community
Foundation of San Diego — share in the achievements of this year. You, too.
We thank you.

This year, you are receiving more
than just an Annual Report from us.
You are reading a unique record of how people
can help each other. Even in the midst of the
worst economic crisis in almost a hundred years.
But the most important news in this annual report is that with your help,
advice, and support, we were able to help beyond the crisis. We were able to
honor our 92-year commitment to those who always need Jewish Family Service:
The oldest among us. The youngest and most vulnerable. Survivors of domestic
violence. Jewish single parents trying to maintain a connection with their heritage.
Individuals and families who need counseling. Military families and those of all ages
who are hungry. Parents searching for the best way to raise their children.
Holocaust Survivors struggling to make it through each day.
This year and every year, Jewish Family Service remains the one source
people count on for a lifetime of help. The place people come to get their
lives back.
For example, our Hand Up Youth Food Pantry distributed almost 165,300
pounds of food and hygiene products this year to 7,246 clients. Case managers
were at 56 food distributions to assess needs and provide more assistance.
Our Economic Crisis Response workshops saw a 109% increase in the number
of clients last year — including many who never before thought they would need
us. We helped people deal not only with job loss and the threat of home
foreclosure, but we also helped them in creating plans to finding jobs and
rebuilding their lives.
JFS Access, the entry point to our counseling and case management programs,
answered 21% more calls compared to last year. Business as usual? Hardly, but
the important fact is that this year we responded to crises and at the same time
maintained all of our programs.
And here is more to be proud of. Charity Navigator, the premier charity
evaluator, awarded us its 4-star rating for the third consecutive year. It puts us in
the highest ranking quarter of all charities examined, and “demonstrates to the
public that we are worthy of its trust.”(Their words, not ours)
All of us — our dedicated Board of Directors, our committed and talented staff,
our faithful volunteers, and the foundations, grantors, and partners we work with,
especially the Jewish Federation of San Diego County and Jewish Community
Foundation of San Diego — share in the achievements of this year. You, too.
We thank you.
