I hope all is well with you and your beautiful city, known as `Florida's Riviera.' We at Jewish
Community Services (JCS) wish to thank you once again for the support you have shown us in
the past.
In light of our mutually beneficial relationship, JCS is requesting that the City of Sunny Isles
Beach consider supporting the work we do for your citizens through an allocation once again
of $5,000.
As a non - profit, non - sectarian social service agency in Miami -Dade County, JCS offers a full -
range of programs to the entire community. The ones most familiar to your residents may be
the older adult social and recreational initiatives and the home - delivered kosher meals program
for frail seniors and Holocaust survivors. There are a number of people from Sunny Isles Beach
who also take advantage of our DUI classes and children's mental health programs.
If you would like to discuss JCS' role in enhancing the lives of your residents, please let me
know. I look forward to our continued affiliation with the City of Sunny Isles Beach.
Best wishes to you and the City Commission.
Sincerely,
RECEIVED

MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Mayor Norman S. Edelcup
DATE: 1/16/2014
RE: Charitable Contribution to Jewish Community Services
RECOMMENDATION:
The Resolution is attached for your consideration.
® REASONS:
The Jewish Community Services ( "JCS ") is one of the largest social services
agencies in South Florida. serving more than 35.000 people annually through
their various programs and activities. The JCS provides programs and services
for the unemployed, homeless, refugees, frail elders, holocaust survivors,
physically and developmentally challenged, families in crisis, substance abusers,
child victims of neglect and abuse, delinquents, the working poor, and the
uninsured /underinsured. They provide hot and frozen meals to homebound
clients and hurricane boxes to elderly seniors. Further, and probably most
importantly, the JCS serves the community as a whole, regardless of race,
religion, ethnicity, or age.
The JCS relies on funding from various entities, such as the United Way, the
Greater Miami Jewish Federation, and county and local governments, to provide
these much needed services. In past years we have given a charitable
contribution to JCS, and I am proposing that we continue that tradition of giving a
contribution to the Jewish Community Services of $5,000.00.
