Ede1cup, Mayor ~ <br />10/15/2009 <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />RE: <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 <br />South Florida, serving more than thirty-five thousand people annually through their <br />various programs and activities. The JCS provides programs and services for the <br />underemployed, homeless, refugees, frail elders, holocaust survivors, physically and <br />developmentally challenged, families in crisis, substance abusers, child victims of neglect <br />and abuse, delinquents, the working poor, and the uninsured and underinsured. They <br />provide hot and frozen meals to homebound clients and hurricane boxes to elderly <br />seniors. Further, and probably most importantly, the JCS serves the community as a <br />whole, regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, or age. <br /> <br />The JCS relies on funding from various entities, such as the United Way, Greater Miami <br />Jewish Federation, and county and local governments, to provide these much needed <br />services. In past years we have given a charitable contribution to JCS, and I am <br />proposing that we continue that tradition of giving a contribution to the Jewish <br />Community Services of Five Thousand Dollars ($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, <br />King David Condominium and the Russian Chabad. <br /> <br />FUNDING SOURCE: <br /> <br />Account #10-51 1-5490 <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />.
