Thank you all for your dedication and exemplary work. It is my pleasure to report that in 2014-2015 JFSA provided more aid and services to a greater number of clients than at any time in the Agency’s history. Notwithstanding the cost of providing record levels of aid and services, the Agency is as strong as it has ever been financially. Revenues exceeded $4 million for the first time ever. The financial needs of JFSA will grow, however, as the Agency evolves to serve the needs of our community and as the Jewish population shifts geographically to the East and South. Moving to our wonderful new premises has helped keep costs down while increasing efficiency. Our Seniors’ Home Support services supports over 500 seniors monthly. The Agency now employs over 65 field workers whose efforts enable a growing population of seniors to age in place with dignity. Revenue from this service exceeds $1 million per year and is growing rapidly. The Agency is engaged in a comprehensive review of Food Security alternatives in order to better fulfill our obligation to feed the hungry. The pillars of our Food Security strategy will include access, dignity and nutrition. Until such time as a new strategy can be implemented we will continue to operate the food bank with the tremendous support of volunteers. It is an honour to serve an organization that delivers truly vital services to our community and beyond. One cannot help but be inspired by the commitment, compassion and professionalism demonstrated by JFSA’s management, staff and volunteers on a daily basis. Thanks also to Richard Fruchter who has provided tremendous leadership in his role as a Senior Management Consultant to the Agency. We have benefitted immeasurably from Richard’s wise counsel. I am confident that the Agency will have a new CEO in place soon and we are fortunate that Richard is available to share his experience and wisdom with the Agency’s new leader when the time comes. Thanks to the members of our Search Committee for their efforts in this regard. I am particularly proud of the extent to which JFSA strengthened its ties to the Jewish Federation of Greater Vancouver this past year. JFSA remains the Federation’s largest recipient of funding, which highlights the importance of this symbiotic relationship. Special thanks to the Federation’s Stephen Gaerber, Ezra Shanken and Shelley Rivkin for your ongoing support and that of your organization. A final thanks goes out to our many donors – large and small. We rely on your support to feed the hungry, provide shelter, advocacy, counseling, Seniors Home Support and other vital services. I am pleased JFSA is in such great shape and I have no doubt that JFSA will reach new heights with the help of an outstanding Board, a strong management team, and our superb staff and volunteers. With warm regards, It is also an honour to work with my fellow Directors, each of whom has made a significant contribution to JFSA. We can be proud that, together with the Agency’s employees and volunteers, we have fulfilled our duties in accordance with the Jewish values of honesty, integrity, compassion, respect and JOEL STEINBERG BOARD CHAIR Page 2 Stories of Success After a lifetime in Russia, a 70-year-old Jewish woman immigrated to Canada to rejoin her husband. Supported by the Jewish community, they built a new life together and thrived until the husband, who had sponsored her visa and provided for her financially, passed away two years later. Without an income of her own, and ineligible for Old Age Security or Guaranteed Income Supplements due to sponsorship and residency constraints, the woman was at-risk of becoming homeless. Unable to speak English and advocate on her own behalf for government support, she approached JFSA for emergency assistance. Our Russian speaking counsellors provided the woman with food vouchers and worked with her to apply for Death Benefits, Rent Bank, Shelter Aid for Elderly Renters, and Canada Pension Plan. Having exhausted all of these options, the woman’s advocate was able to secure $906 a month from the Ministry for Social Assistance, allowing her to stay in her apartment and avoid homelessness. Once the advocacy process was completed, the client was referred to the Settlement and Employment Departments for further assistance and additional financial support. Page 3 Stories of Success Many of our clients receive years of help from JFSA’s staff and often a bond develops between them as a result. One such bond was created 8 years ago when one of our clients required help moving from their home in Burnaby to Cavell Gardens, a Seniors Living Community, in Vancouver. Over the years, our staff member had become like a “surrogate daughter” to the client by accompanying her to doctor’s appointments, performing regular home visits, and acting as her advocate with Vancouver Coastal Health. Thanks to her efforts, and those of our seniors’ team, the client is able to continue living independently at Cavell Gardens despite recently celebrating her 100th birthday. The client’s personal care worker also developed a bond with the client and helped to organize the 100th birthday party as well as arranging for letters from the Queen of England, Stephen Harper, and the Governor General to be sent wishing her a very Happy Birthday. According to the “surrogate daughter” and her two children who also attended, it was a very special celebration and “the most fun [the client] had in years.” Page 4 Stories of Success There is nothing worse than realizing that a problem is too large for you to handle and being turned away when you ask for help. For a couple that came to JFSA in crisis, this happened to them twice when approaching other agencies. The couple’s case was difficult, and it was easy to see why other agencies may have considered the challenge too daunting: childhood abuse, neglect, suicide, mental health issues, PTSD, sexual abuse, addictions, and violence were just some of the many issues that they were struggling with. Treating them with dignity and compassion, our trained mental health counsellors took on the challenge and offered to see them immediately. At the end of a lengthy session that explored their troubled past and current challenges, the couple filled out a Client Satisfaction Survey and committed to future sessions with the counsellor. Surprisingly, instead of feeling discouraged about their situation, they wrote that after one session there was “Significant Improvement”, and that they believed that within “six months their concerns will be resolved.” A large part of the couple’s enthusiasm and hope for improvement came from their experience with the counsellor who they felt was “insightful, friendly, empathic and put us at ease,” and who created “a very friendly and safe feeling atmosphere.” Clearly relieved at finally finding someone to share their story with, they added “I’m so grateful to have such help. Thank you!” The abilities of our clinical staff demonstrate that we have the capacity to take on challenged clients and, even within a limited time period, help them feel hopeful about their situation. Page 5 Stories of Success able to help her by providing a Home Care Worker for three hours a week. After the first day of services, the daughterin-law phoned and expressed her relief and gratitude for the support. She said that those three hours of extra help had delighted her mother-in-law, who enjoyed having her hair washed and combed, and her apartment and laundry cleaned. Supporting seniors’ ability to live independently at home, JFSA has made a significant difference in the lives of hundreds of families in our community as the lead agency for the United Way’s Better at Home Program, including that of a Kitsilano woman. Struggling with her mental health, the woman’s daughter-in-law had been helping her with basic tasks, but bathing, self-care, and changing soiled clothes were something she rarely had time for. The daughter-in-law also wanted to pass on her gratitude for our professionalism and support and is feeling more optimistic about her and her mother-in-law’s quality of life. Like many others in her situation, the daughter-in-law also had to deal with the stress of working full time while caring for her mother-in-law and the conflicts that inevitably arose.
