The number of people coming to JFS for
emergency financial assistance between January-October 2009 has
increased 91% over the same period last year.
Nobody could have expected such a demand on our resources. People
who have never needed us before are now calling us for the first time:
• Requests for food from the Jewish Family
Service Food Pantry have increased by 80% over the same January-October
period last year.
• Twice as many people are asking for help to
avoid eviction from their homes
Our ability to help
depends on you and your support.
You may
personally be feeling the economic downturn. But please know that your year-end donation
will be a lifeline for someone who is putting their kids to bed hungry, facing eviction,
or on the verge of depression.
Your donation, made directly to Jewish Family Service, goes
directly to helping those most in need in our community.
Since
1943 Jewish Family Service has played a vital role in serving the constantly changing
social service needs of individuals, families and their children in Greater Cincinnati.
Mission Statement Jewish Family
Service of Cincinnati strengthens lives and our community by providing
professional social services to families and individuals in times of need.
