Edelcup, Mayor ~ <br />October 16, 2008 <br /> <br />Charitable Contribution to Jewish Community Services <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br /> <br />It is recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached resolution authorizing a <br />charitable contribution to the Jewish Community Services. <br /> <br />REASONS: <br /> <br />The Jewish Community Services ("JCS") is one of the largest social services agencies in South <br />Florida, serving more th,ill thirty-five thousand people annually through their various programs <br />and activities. The JCS provides programs and services for the underemployed, homeless, <br />refugees, frail elders, holocaust survivors, physically and developmentally challenged, families <br />in crisis, substance abusers, child victims of neglect and abuse, delinquents, the working poor, <br />and the wlinsured and underinsured. They provide hot and frozen mcals to homebound clients <br />and hurricane boxes to elderly seniors. Further, and probably most importantly, the JCS serves <br />the community as a whole, regardlcss of race, religion, ethnicity, or age. <br /> <br />The JCS relies on funding from various entities, such as the United Way, Grcater Miami Jewish <br />Federation, and county and local governments, to provide these much needed services. In past <br />years we have given a charitable contribution to JCS, and I am proposing that we continue that <br />tradition of giving a contribution to the Jewish Community Services of Five Thousand Dollars <br />($5,000.00). <br /> <br />ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: <br /> <br />The City of Sunny Isles Beach is fortunate to have two (2) JCS program sites in our area, King <br />David Condominium and the Russian Chabad.
