RE:
Charitable Contribution to Jewish Community Services
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached resolution authorizing a
charitable contribution to the Jewish Community Services.
REASONS:
The Jewish Community Services ("JCS") is one of the largest social services agencies in
South Florida, serving more than thirty-five thousand people annually through their
various programs and activities. The JCS provides programs and services for the
underemployed, 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 and 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, 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 Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00).
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The City of Sunny Isles Beach is fortunate to have two (2) JCS program sites in our area,
King David Condominium and the Russian Chabad.
