Michael R. Zent Richard D. Gottlieb Although the economic downturn continued to increase demand for our services and strain existing resources, we were able to start several new programs and expand much-needed services, including our Behavioral Health programs. This year marks our 75th anniversary as a community service agency, and we have much to celebrate. JFCS was able to significantly expand services to adults through its partnership with Magellan Health Services, the Regional Behavioral Health Authority. We opened additional adult services on both 7th Street in Phoenix and in the West Valley, and began providing innovative Behavioral Health counseling to older adults in their homes. We were also able to make great progress relocating our programs into better facilities. Over the years, as demand for services has increased, many of our workplaces have become increasingly inadequate and strained. Our Glendale Behavioral Health Clinic was relocated after 20 years to a new Glendale location and an open house was held in May. We also completed plans to move our Mesa Behavioral Health Clinic and are seeking new space to relocate our West Catalina Drive Clinic. This means a better environment for both clients and staff. In 2010, JFCS also launched a revitalized development and marketing program and sponsored a successful Brighter Tomorrow luncheon in March, which we plan to make an annual fund- and friend-raising event. We are reaching out to the community not only to seek support for much-needed programs but to inform others of our services and the role we play in meeting community needs. This year, we continued to expand our specialized services to youth with programs for foster care youth, youth with serious mental health problems who are likely to continue services as adults, and specialized treatment for youth and families who struggle with substance abuse issues. As a major provider of services for children under the state’s Child Protective Services, we strive to improve and expand services to this very vulnerable group. One example, our youth workforce training and life-skills program, Real World Job Development, helped youth further their education and find jobs. Also in 2010, with the support of a grant from the Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust, we proudly launched our new older adult home care program, Jewish Family Home Care of Arizona. This program provides in-home services to seniors helping them maintain their independence and quality of life while continuing to live in the comfort of their own homes. JFCS continues to provide services to the Jewish community with increased referrals to our counseling services and more requests for emergency and short-term financial assistance via our Helping Hands program. Our Aleinu Network held several successful educational workshops with the Orthodox Community, offering resources for strengthening individual and family life, and our Hospital Chaplaincy program provided support and spiritual comfort to patients and families in 15 hospitals throughout Maricopa County. Once again, we are grateful for the support we have received and our ability to meet the emerging needs of the community. Thank you to our partners, our donors, staff and board of directors who have made a successful 2010 for JFCS. Michael R. Zent, Ph.D. President & CEO Richard D.

From a small group of Jewish women doing their best to meet the needs of a growing Jewish community in the late 1930s to a large social service agency that assists approximately 30,000 individuals of all faiths every year, JFCS has been helping people cope more effectively with life’s difficult circumstances for three quarters of a century. “[Rabbi Krohn] was a sincere and intellectual man who wanted things done on a high plane.” – sam kiviat, Oral History Transcript, Shema Arizona, Arizona Jewish Historical Society Oral History Project CLOCKWISE: Junior Council of Jewish Women luncheon, 1936 (Courtesy of AZJHS); JFCS’ Board, December 1963; Florence Frank, 1958(Courtesy of AZJHS); Real World Job Development participant intern at Maryvale Hospital, 2010; Naomi Wagner, J.

HIS TORY IN THE MAKING Humble Roots JFCS traces its roots back to 1935—an uncertain time during the Great Depression when jobs and resources were scarce. It was during this period of great need that a courageous group of Jewish women from the Phoenix chapter of the National Council of Jewish Women decided to create a welfare committee to help those in need. They laid the bedrock for what would eventually become Jewish Family & Children’s Service of Phoenix, a social service agency that over the years would change the face of child welfare in Arizona; would lead the fight against child sexual abuse; would distinguish itself in adoptions, including the adoption of Native American children; would create the first nursing home for elderly Jews in Arizona; would be a major force in the resettlement of Russian Jews; and would receive national recognition for its excellence. Visionary Leaders “. . . the agency serves Jewish individuals and families of all ages, as well as the general population in fulfillment with the teachings of Judaism to be of service to others.” JFCS’ rich legacy has been guided by several innovative leaders, all of whom shared a vision for a brighter tomorrow. Leaders like Rabbi Abraham Krohn, a forward-thinking rabbi who moved the welfare committee into an agency with the establishment of Jewish Social Service; Florence Frank, a nurturing social worker, who became the agency’s first director of social services; Hirsch Kaplan, who incorporated the agency and managed its growth as the first executive director; Lois Tuchler, a passionate advocate for child welfare in the 1960s and ’70s who launched many JFCS programs that still exist today; Adrien Herzberg, whose leadership in the late 1980s and early ’90s helped the agency expand to serve the greater community; Gail Parin (1998-2003), who helped the agency build a strong nonprofit business model; and Thomas F. Updike (2004-2008), who furthered new business practices and enhanced services to the Jewish community. Shared Values While the agency’s focus has shifted over the years to meet the diverse needs of a growing community, JFCS’ commitment to the core Jewish values that it was founded upon has remained constant. Those values include: concern for the community (kehila); doing the right thing (tzedakah); taking responsibility for fixing what is wrong with the world (tikkun olam); and acts of kindness (gemilut chasadim). Moving forward, JFCS will continue to rely on these core Jewish values to guide the programs and services it provides to the Greater Phoenix community. – jfcs mission statement, 1987–1995 1962 1965 1966 1973 JSS changes its name to Jewish Family & Children’s Service (JFCS).
