We also strengthen Jewish families and promote a sense of personal growth, awareness and connection to the Jewish community. We have programs on health, safety, nutrition, spirituality, art and other topics of interest. Senior Health and Information Fair The Senior Health Fair is held annually in May (Older Americans' month) and provides medical screenings and health information as well as other information about eligibility programs. Community Education We keep in touch with those less mobile in community nursing homes and high-rises before each major Jewish Holiday, explaining the meanings and customs of the holiday to help insure a greater sensitivity to Jewish residents.

RSVP volunteers are also a vital part of the success of the JEA and JFS programs. Volunteers assist with the kosher lunch program, assist in offices at the JEA and in the community.

The goal of financial assistance is to assist individuals who may be struggling financially to insure shelter, nutrition, health and safety. Case Management The goal of JFS is to provide a support system to meet the needs of adults striving to maintain independence. This process begins assessment through treatment.
Assessment/Referral & Information Calls and visits received from clients who need to become aware of and referred to other agencies for assistance are very commonplace. The goal of this program is to connect clients with appropriate eligibility programs to help insure quality of life. (Back to top) |
