JFS helps vulnerable individuals and families in the Puget Sound region achieve well-being, health and stability. Jewish history and values guide our work; therefore, we provide effective services to people of all backgrounds and also have a responsibility to meet the particular needs of Jewish individuals and families in the region.
JFS is committed to measurably improving people’s lives in three key areas: Well-Being: We help people to live with dignity and to develop social supports. Health: We help people to achieve their optimal physical and mental health. Stability: We help people achieve safe and sustainable housing and financial stability.
I came across this quite by accident, what an amazing tribute to my cousin Ken, your Aunt Rose would be very proud of your work and contributions to the Jewish Community! (this if rom cousin Joan, Danna is my daughter, she is also a LCSW for Hospice)
Ken: Thanks for being the yearly vaccine that immunized us against complacency and philanthropic fatigue.There is an African proverb which simply says " the fuel in the lamp consumes itself but lights others". Your nspiration and passion have fueled the Seattle community for 38 wonderful years. On your well-deserved retirement words seem inadequate to say all that is in our hearts.
