Going into this summer with the economy still stalled, we knew we would see an increase in camp scholarship requests. But we were not prepared for this.

This year, we have seen a 300% increase in Jewish overnight camp scholarship requests! That includes requests for $400,000 for 247 children. How can we say "no" to families wanting an experience that helps develop their child's lifetime of Jewish identity? But how can we say "yes" without enough funds?

A Note from Richard: JFS Dedicates Renovated Food Bank

Posted on Wednesday Mar 10, 2010 11:27 AM

Congratulations to Jewish Family Service, who on Sunday, March 7, dedicated their recently renovated food bank on Capitol Hill. The expansion, funded by a $500,000 federal stimulus package grant, allows JFS to grow its neighborhood food bank to serve low-income families and seniors of all backgrounds more thoroughly from Downtown Seattle to the Madison Valley. Additionally, the expansion will increase the capacity of JFS to store and deliver food by as much as 100%, reducing or eliminating the current need for off-site warehousing and related transportation costs.
