Edelcup <br />DATE: 1/16/2014 <br />RE: Charitable Contribution to Jewish Community Services <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />The Resolution is attached for your consideration. <br />® REASONS: <br />The Jewish Community Services ( "JCS ") is one of the largest social services <br />agencies in South Florida. serving more than 35.000 people annually through <br />their various programs and activities. The JCS provides programs and services <br />for the unemployed, homeless, refugees, frail elders, holocaust survivors, <br />physically and developmentally challenged, families in crisis, substance abusers, <br />child victims of neglect and abuse, delinquents, the working poor, and the <br />uninsured /underinsured. They provide hot and frozen meals to homebound <br />clients and hurricane boxes to elderly seniors. Further, and probably most <br />importantly, the JCS serves the community as a whole, regardless of race, <br />religion, ethnicity, or age. <br />The JCS relies on funding from various entities, such as the United Way, the <br />Greater Miami Jewish Federation, and county and local governments, to provide <br />these much needed services. In past years we have given a charitable <br />contribution to JCS, and I am proposing that we continue that tradition of giving a <br />contribution to the Jewish Community Services of $5,000.00. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />a Resolution <br />• <br />Agenda Item No.10A <br />Date 1/16/2014 <br />48 <br />
