A Message From the Chair and the President & CEO
JFS: A Pillar of Strength in Uncertain Times
T
his year was a very exciting and eventful year
for Jewish Family Service! It was the
culmination of a decade of visionary planning and
service to the community. As dark clouds gathered
marking an imminent global economic crisis, JFS
maintained its position of strength and stability.
Our achievements over the past ten years have
helped position us to weather the storm. These
accomplishments would not have been possible
without the steadfast continued support of
you, our stakeholders. We marked the fifth
anniversary of our move to the Joyce and Kal
Zeff Building, which increased our capacity
as a service provider and helped transform
JFS into a premier community agency.
SHALOM Denver celebrated its seventh
anniversary at its present location, a move
which vastly expanded its work area. The
new workspace, coupled with enhancements
to SHALOM Denver’s technological capabilities, have enabled it to compete effectively
with other business providers.
Over the past ten years, the JFS budget
doubled from $4 million to over $8 million,
yet our efficiency and effectiveness grew
more than six-fold. In the past decade, the
number of lives we touched increased from
3,500 to a remarkable 21,500, unprecedented in
JFS’s 136-year history.
This year we launched JFS at Home, a dynamic
fee-based homecare agency, that provides 24/7 inhome care to seniors, people discharged from
hospitals, and people with chronic illnesses or disabilities. We have become a statewide innovator in
many areas, including refugee mental health,
Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities
(NORCs), and school-based counseling.
Change has become the buzzword of our times
and never before has change been so crucial. This
annual report embodies another important change
we celebrated this year, shifting to a more dynamic,
forward-looking brand. Being more than just a new
logo, the brand is defined as the images and ideas
that represent Jewish Family Service today, and help
us convey to our clients and the community who the
agency is and what we do.
Our new brand helps us communicate not only
our history of service to the community, but our
strong, unwavering commitment to being a premier
human services provider with cutting-edge programs
and services. It conveys the strength of our agency
and our commitment to change and to never be
complacent about human suffering.
The agency’s new tagline is Improving lives.
Rebuilding hope. This is our brand promise,
capturing our fundamental mission and the
empowering role our organization has played for 136
years. It is simple and succinct in conveying what
JFS does and the transformative impact our work has
and will continue to have on people’s lives.
This year’s annual report showcases the new look
and feel of our brand, and illustrates how we
exemplify the new tagline. You will learn about the
agency’s many accomplishments from the past year
and how your support helps us positively affect the
lives of thousands of families and individuals. You
will learn firsthand from our clients and volunteers
about how JFS has touched their lives.
These good works could not be realized without
the help of our dedicated board, staff, donors,
volunteers, and community partners. As we all face
uncertain economic times, the one certainty is that
JFS will be here for you, a friend, or loved one.
Thank you so much for your support!
B’shalom,
Chet Schwartz

Improving Lives and Rebuilding Hope…
one meal at a time.
O
ur family was making it pretty well until my husband
was diagnosed with cancer about a year ago. He
has been undergoing special treatments and is slowly
recovering, but his medical emergency has devastated our
family financially. We did not have enough saved to cover
his loss of income. We have spent the last 10 months
struggling to pay our bills and keep our house.
We learned about the Weinberg Food Pantry at
Jewish Family Service and have been using it regularly. The Summer Lunch & Learning
program has been especially helpful as we did not have a spare dollar in our budget for the
extra food expense for our children being home for lunch during the summer. Our children,
who are six and nine, received lunches, books, and school supplies through the program. My
husband is recovering, but it will take us many months to pay our back bills and get selfsufficient again. The Lunch & Learning program helped us on a financial as well as an
emotional level this summer and we are truly grateful! —“Mary,” 40, Family Safety Net client
Family Safety Net
T
he Family Safety Net program has never been
in the spotlight as much as it has been the past
year. With need growing throughout the community,
this program strives to provide crucial emergency
financial assistance and supplemental food and
necessities to individuals and families. The Family
Safety Net is the last line of defense for people at risk
of homelessness, eviction, hunger, and food
insecurity. What we have seen the past year is that no
one is immune from financial misfortune and we
truly serve people from all walks of life who need a
helping hand to lift their lives and spirits. As a key
participant in Denver’s Road Home: A 10-Year
Comprehensive Plan to End Homelessness, the
Family Safety Net helps people stabilize and regain
control over their lives.
Summer Lunch & Learning:
Nourishment for the Body and the Mind
Summer can be a time of barbecues, swimming
pools, and baseball games. It can also be a time of
severe stress for families struggling to feed their
children who usually receive free or subsidized
lunches at school. Summer is also a time when
advances in reading levels are lost due to lack of
practice or opportunity.
The Family Safety Net’s Lunch & Learning
program was created to address both of these
concerns – to provide assistance to those children at
risk of hunger during the summer break from school
and to offer easy access to interesting, new books to
encourage reading.
In 2008, the program provided food and books
to 58 children. Every Monday each child received a
week’s worth of food and a chance to select a new
book. A total of 2,175 lunches were distributed. In
addition, all participants attended a celebratory
picnic at which new school supplies for the coming
year were distributed.
The 2008 Summer Lunch & Learning program
was generously funded by Venoco, Inc., an
independent energy company.

JFS Counseling Center
A
t least one out of every four Coloradans is
affected by an emotional issue. The JFS
Counseling Center has been at the forefront of
removing barriers to treatment and making it
possible for people to get the help they need. This
year, Jewish Family Service’s skilled psychotherapists,
social workers, and psychologists helped individuals,
couples, and families facing a variety of issues. Our
wealth of interdisciplinary expertise and access to the
large range of other JFS services helped meet the
unique needs of each client. Though much of what
we do is not visible due to our commitment to
protect the privacy of our clients, what we do has an
indelible impact on community life.
We do an incredible amount of important work
outside the confines of our Counseling Center, as well.
Our school-based programs made a profound impact on
the lives of students, parents, teachers and staffs at many
metro Denver schools. JFS KidSuccess and International
KidSuccess counselors helped address the students’
behavioral and academic problems in school. Bilingual
and bicultural counselors focused on the unique
problems faced by refugee and immigrant students.

personal responsibility, and leadership. With Jewish
Family Service’s experience and knowledge of both the
educational and health care systems, our therapists
worked together with staff and parents in providing a
safety net for at-risk students. Students were able to
meet with therapists in a safe, confidential, and nonstigmatizing atmosphere; allowing therapists to more
readily consult with teachers, school staff, and parents;
and making it possible for therapists to immediately
respond to emergency situations.
International KidSuccess
The primary goal of the International Kid
Success (IKS) program is to help refugee students
with the acculturation process and emotional difficulties that can follow resettlement to the new school
and culture. IKS services included group and
individual counseling sessions, parent education,
teacher and school staff training, and diversity
education for mainstream students. Many of these
children had been through war traumas, had been
deprived of basic human needs such as food, safety,
and shelter in their lands of origin, and found
themselves in a new and different environment in
America. They struggled to fit in and make sense of
their new life here. We responded effectively to guide
them through their difficult challenges.
for our youth.
am a refugee from Afghanistan and had been living in the U.S. for about a
year when I realized I needed some help dealing with some difficult family
issues. Due to serious medical problems, my mother wasn’t able to work any
longer. Shortly after that, my father lost his job. All of a sudden I became the
primary person dealing with my family’s very bad medical and financial situation.
I sought help from the International KidSuccess (IKS) therapist at my school.
I told the therapist I was worried about my family’s future in America. I
expressed that I was feeling overwhelmed and burdened with many new responsibilities, such as filling out job applications for my father since I am the only one
who can speak English in our family. With the help of the IKS therapist, I was
able to access community resources that could assist my family, and in turn, I was
able to again focus on my school work and achieve success at school.

Disability Services
S
ince 1955, SHALOM Denver has provided
mailing, packaging, and assembly services to the
Denver business community. In addition to its
business services, SHALOM provides employment,
training, and job placement opportunities to people
with disabilities, employment challenges, and those
moving from welfare to work. It also offers a host of
cost-effective professional and community services to
enhance productivity and quality of life for people
with disabilities.
Jewish Family Service provides caring
supervision at its JFS Group Home for eight adults
with developmental disabilities. This residential
property provides a warm and comfortable home life
for the residents where they lead active lives and
participate in a variety of social, recreational and
cultural activities.
Jewish Disabilities Network
The Jewish Disabilities Network (JDN) provides
services and coordinates resources to promote full
participation of Jewish people with disabilities in the
Jewish community and the community at large. The
JDN is comprised of several Jewish organizations
dedicated to addressing the needs of Jewish people
with disabilities and their families. It is a collaborative program of Jewish Family Service, its SHALOM
Denver work center, Allied Jewish Federation of
Colorado, Keshet of the Rockies, and the Robert E.
Loup Jewish Community Center.
The JDN is made possible through the
generosity of individual donors, the Allied Jewish
Federation of Colorado, and The Jay and Rose
Phillips Family Foundation.
In 2007, the Jewish Disabilities Network hosted
a successful Building Bridges Luncheon for local
leaders in the disabilities services community. The
goal of the event was to help to increase awareness of
the needs of those with disabilities, and connect professionals and organizations in the Denver metro
area that can help people with disabilities get the care
they need. The luncheon resulted in educating participants about JFS Disability Services, the JDN, and
some of the issues facing those with disabilities
today. The event also motivated and energized
attendees to arrange follow-up meetings.

for people with disabilities.
I
am living with cerebral palsy and am confined to a
wheelchair. I have lived in a senior assisted living complex
since the young age of 42, and have been the only resident in
this facility under the age of 62.
I lost my dad last year. My elderly mom lives alone and is
scheduled to have heart surgery. My twin brother has bipolar
disorder. So, at times, despite my own disability, I need to be the
“caregiver” in the family.
I cannot work and am in great financial difficulty. I learned
about Jewish Family Service and the Jewish Disabilities Network
(JDN) through my synagogue. When I called, a JDN case
manager visited me at my apartment, and she quickly arranged
a meeting with JFS’s Safety Net department, which provided me
with one month’s rent to help with my expenses. The case
manager also arranged for a volunteer to deliver food from the
Weinberg Food Pantry to me every month, and found a JFS
volunteer to take me to the grocery store.
If that wasn’t an incredible amount of help already, the case
manager also purchased a booklet of Access-a-Ride tickets for
30 free bus rides. I was thrilled because now I can go to my
doctors’ appointments without worrying how to pay for rides, and I’ll be able to visit my mom
in the hospital when she has her surgery!
I am so grateful for all the help JDN and JFS have provided. It’s helping me feel less
isolated and more empowered to be as independent as possible. It was great to receive
services from different areas within the agency - Jewish Family Service truly is a single point-ofentry with a multitude of resources! —“Jody,” 54, Jewish Disabilities Network client

Improving Lives and Rebuilding Hope…
for older adults.
A
little over three years ago, my wife and I moved to
Colorado from Chicago to be closer to our son. We found
an apartment at Crestmoor Downs (now called Berkshires at
Lowry). A year and a half after moving, my wife passed away.
Losing my companion of more than 60 years, I sought out
connections. I learned about Colorado Senior Connections
(CSC) from a neighbor and attended a grief and loss support
group offered through that program.
This experience inspired me to become more involved in the
program. I immediately identified a common need among
residents — rides to medical appointments. Since Colorado
Senior Connections is resident-driven, I set out to develop a
solution. Using my experience from volunteering for a senior
transportation program in Chicago and on Jewish Family
Service’s RIDE program (Responsible Individuals Driving
Everywhere), Colorado Senior Connections created its own
version for Crestmoor Downs’ residents.
But, for me, providing an average of two to three rides a
week for a fellow resident just wasn’t enough. I found another skill that I could bring to the
program — cooking. I discovered that cooking some of my wife’s recipes and being in the
kitchen helped me to not only stay busy, but to feel closer to my wife while, at the same time,
being able to bring joy to others. Over the past few months, I have made meals for an ill
neighbor, provided baked goods for various CSC activities, held a bake sale and donated
the money back to the program, and even made a Thanksgiving dinner for Colorado Senior
Connections’ Lunch Club that drew a record attendance! I was also available for any other
kind of help, including volunteering in the “RUOK” (Are You OK) program where resident
volunteers call all CSC members monthly to do a wellness check.
Thanks to Colorado Senior Connections, I was able to find a loving, healthy community
to be part of after my wife passed away. —“Ben,” 86. Colorado Senior Connections client

JFS Senior Solutions and Care Connection
JFS Senior Solutions
FS Senior Solutions, one of our core programs
serving generations of Coloradans, remains on the
cutting edge of meeting the needs of people as they
age. JFS Senior Solutions encompasses a variety of JFS
programs and services that meet the needs of older
adults. We understand the important demographic
that 95% of seniors live in their own homes, so we
must bring our services to them, helping them live
safely and independently. Services we provided this
past year include in-home care, meal delivery,
counseling and mediation, transportation services,
visitation, personal finance assistance, nursing home
information and selection, and information and
referrals. We are the lead agency in the pioneering
Colorado Senior Connections program, a 21st century
answer to caring for our aging population. This trend
will only grow as baby boomers age.
What sets Colorado Senior Connections apart
from other programs? CSC:
• Provides a range of coordinated health care, social
services, and group activities on site
• Draws strength from partnerships that unite
housing entities and their residents, health and
social service providers, government agencies, and
philanthropic organizations
• Promotes independence and healthy aging by
engaging seniors before a crisis occurs and
responding to their changing needs over time
• Provides seniors with vital roles in the
development and operation of the program (both
in governance and volunteer roles)
• Fills the gaps (without duplicating) where
Medicare, Medicaid, or Older Americans Act
services are insufficient or inadequately
coordinated
Colorado Senior Connections
In partnership with the Allied Jewish Federation of
Colorado, the Daniels Fund, the Colorado Health
Foundation, Rose Medical Center, and the Dominican
Sisters, JFS’s Colorado Senior Connections (CSC)
program helps seniors continue to live independently
in their own residences. This resident-driven program
is the state’s only NORC (Naturally Occurring
Retirement Community) project, which refers to
neighborhoods or building complexes where a large
number of the residents are 60 years and older and
have aged in place for several decades.
This model engages housing complex residents in
decision making about the services they wish to receive,
by providing a variety of direct services, and by coordinating with other agencies’ services at the site. The
program focuses on seniors’ strengths, not their deficits.
Because CSC is resident-driven, much emphasis
is placed on ensuring that activities planned meet the
seniors’ needs and desires. Programs and activities
range from health and fitness classes, to gaming
groups, to guest speaker events, to a program where
residents call each other for monthly wellness checks.
Aging in place promotes self-sufficiency, alleviates
isolation, reduces health care costs, and allows the
elderly to maintain their social networks.
JFS Care Connection
JFS Care Connection is another important group
of programs and services led by a highly skilled staff
that strives to restore and enhance the well-being of
adults living with physical disabilities or chronic
illness. JFS Care Connection carried through this
commitment, creating a single point of entry for
services, advocacy and support, and offering a wide
and thorough continuum of care. In doing so, our
clients were safely able to remain in their own homes
and subsequently maintained their independence,
self-sufficiency, and emotional well-being.

JFS at Home
I
n one of our most exciting developments of the year, Jewish Family
Service launched a new homecare service,
JFS at Home, which is built on the
agency’s solid foundation of providing
care to generation after generation of older adults. JFS
at Home provides non-medical, in-home help, such as
personal care, companion services, and housekeeping to
anyone who needs extra support at home. JFS at Home
is a trustworthy, dedicated resource for specialized care
operating 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.
JFS at Home provided services for people
seeking a completely customized care program on a
private-pay basis. Our primary clients included
seniors and those living with temporary or
permanent medical conditions. The services provided
by our qualified, bonded and insured JFS at Home
staff members allowed people to maintain their inde-
pendence and live safely in their own
homes.
An added benefit of the service is access
to the wide range of JFS programs and
services, and tapping into the agency’s
extensive knowledge of the community. JFS at
Home coordinated care quickly and efficiently,
helping clients access almost any additional services
that they needed.
In addition, JFS at Home proactively addressed all
kinds of situations and conditions that may have led to
depression and isolation. Our staff worked diligently to
keep at-risk clients from spiraling into a declining state
of wellness and self-sufficiency. We provided assistance,
coordination of additional services, and other resources
to clients. Our staff helped address dementia, evaluated
housing and transportation needs, and provided other
client-focused services.
Improving Lives and Rebuilding Hope…
for people in need of extra help at home.
A
s soon as my knee replacement surgery was complete,
I realized I was going to need help at home. My
surgery was moved up three weeks from the original date,
so I was unprepared for all that would happen when I left
the hospital. I sat in my hospital room and confided in my
close friend that I needed help and didn’t know where to
turn. I didn’t want to rely on my friends for help the whole
time while I recovered. Fortunately, my friend told me that
JFS has a new homecare service called “JFS at Home.”
I immediately called JFS at Home and Carla, the
director, came to the hospital to learn about my needs. I
had a very specific need for help for just a week for a few
hours each day. Carla analyzed the situation and made a
caregiver match. It was terrific! I have known about JFS and supported it for years, but never
thought I would need its services. You never know where life will take you!
Since I hadn’t planned to have help after my surgery, I was relieved when JFS at Home
provided an easy, comfortable fix, and came through for me when I had no idea where to go
for help. I am very picky and I was quite impressed and pleased with the experience. JFS at
Home is a fabulous service to offer to the community and I highly recommend it to anyone,
whether they need short-term help like I did or need continuous care for a more serious
illness. Although I only required a caregiver for a week, JFS continued to help me on a limited
basis by driving me to follow-up doctor’s appointments. —“Mary,” 48, JFS at Home client

Volunteers
S
ince our founding in 1872, volunteers have been
an integral part of Jewish Family Service. They
truly are the heart and soul of JFS, and energize the
agency with their dedication and incredible service to
the community. In 2008, volunteers once again
played a critical role in our community outreach. JFS
volunteers served in a variety of crucial operations,
including Bikur Cholim Para-chaplaincy, New
American Support Services, JFS Senior Solutions and
Care Connection, Weinberg Food Pantry, Party with
a Purpose centerpieces, administrative support, special
projects, and boards and committees, as well as
providing consulting and other professional services.
In fact, 646 community volunteers provided a total
of 17,053 hours of service, equivalent to over
$332,000 in volunteer time!
Volunteers are the backbone of JFS and we
could not provide services to more than 21,500
people each year without their invaluable support.
Improving Lives and Rebuilding Hope…
with the help of one volunteer at a time.
M
y husband passed away more than four years ago of
cancer. In the last year of his life, he had to undergo
a lot of chemotherapy. I was working full time and we
needed help. I called JFS and they found a wonderful match
— a man who made it possible for my husband to remain
active and for me to have peace of mind while I was at
work. I knew I wanted to give back to the agency.
When I called to volunteer two years ago, I was open
to a variety of opportunities, but since I was still working, the
time commitment of being a Friendly Visitor for about an
hour a week best fit my schedule. Initially I only wanted to
make a six-month commitment, as I was planning to retire in
that timeframe and thought I would travel frequently. However, my positive experience with
Gertrude Schreiber, the senior I visit, caused me to continue volunteering indefinitely.
Gertrude is such an incredible person. She is almost 91 years old and lost her eyesight just
a few years ago. Her mind is still sharp and she’s very easy to talk to. She has become a
mother-figure to me and we openly share things about our lives. I truly enjoy and look forward
to our time together. And apparently the feeling is mutual because Gertrude says she is very
happy to have me around and that she adores me!
I live in Parker and try to leave my house early each week so Gertrude and I can be
together for as long as possible. I started out visiting with her for one hour each week, but now
it’s closer to 2 hours. We have so much to talk about. I have become very close with Gertrude
and plan to continue my visits with her for as long as possible. I can’t imagine telling her I
won’t be coming anymore.
We spend most of our time talking at Allied Jewish Apartments, where Gertrude lives, and
like to go outside as much as the weather permits. We often attend a Jewish culture class or
current events class held at the apartment complex, as well. Through attending these classes, I
have gotten to know many of the residents, which has given me new perspective on the
challenges of aging and becoming dependent on others to accomplish daily tasks or to go out
and socialize. —Diane Rubinstein, Friendly Visitor volunteer

JFS FISCAL YEAR 2008 ANNUAL REPORT
Looking Forward: Exciting News from Fiscal Year 2009…
Colorado Senior Connections
Expands Services to West Denver
SHALOM Denver Expands Select Services
to Jefferson County
In 2008, Allied Jewish Federation received $286,899
in federal earmarked dollars allocated through the
Administration on Aging for Jewish Family Service’s
Colorado Senior Connections program. This money is
being used to expand and improve the current NORC
(Naturally Occurring Retirement Community) site at
Berkshires at Lowry (formerly Crestmoor Downs).
In addition, the funds are designated to support
services at two new sites on the west side of Denver
— Edgewater Plaza and Sheridan Glen. These
apartment buildings are subsidized, low-income high
rises, in which the average age of the residents is 73.
Both of these buildings are owned and managed by
Brothers Redevelopment, Inc., a nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide safe, affordable,
accessible housing, and housing services for the lowincome, elderly, and disabled of Colorado.
JFS is working with Brothers Redevelopment’s
management and the residents to provide programs
and services which will improve the quality of life for
the residents, following the successful model that JFS
has established at Berkshires at Lowry.
SHALOM Denver opened a new satellite facility,
SHALOM Jeffco, located in Lakewood. Through a
new contract with Jefferson County Human Services
Department’s Colorado Works Career and Family
Services, SHALOM Jeffco now offers services to
Jefferson County TANF (Temporary Assistance to
Needy Families) recipients.
Since 1997, SHALOM Denver has successfully
helped TANF recipients in Denver transition from
welfare to work. We are now able to provide the same
kind of services to Jeffco residents. SHALOM Jeffco
started serving clients in September, 2008 and has the
capacity to accommodate 10-12 workers at a time.
The goal is to get TANF recipients, generally single
moms, off of the funding and into the workforce
within three to four months.
DHS@JFS: New Collaboration with
Denver Human Services
The Family Safety Net Program of Jewish Family
Service began a new collaboration with Denver
Human Services in late 2008. Denver Human
Services has a satellite office in the JFS office building
every Wednesday and Friday. At this office, Human
Services accepts applications for Food Stamps,
Medicaid, Temporary Aid to Needy Families
(TANF), Old Age Pension (OAP), Aid to the Needy
Disabled (AND) and other human service programs.
This satellite office is beneficial to clients who need
multiple services and for whom the trip to the main
DHS office at 1200 Federal is a difficult undertaking.
The world is hugged
by the faithful arms of
volunteers.
