Donations: Donations of gently used furniture, clothing and household goods can be given to St. Vincent de Paul. At the top of your contribution inventory, please write “ For the benefit of Jewish Family Services, ” and in return they will provide basic needs for Jewish Families who need assistance. St. Vincent de Paul can be contacted at 239.775.2907. Jewish Family Services receives its funding from the Jewish Federation of Collier County, through voluntary donations in return for services rendered, and from donations from the community to its various funds.
Contributions to Jewish Family Services can be made to the following funds:
THE JFS MITZVAH FUND: Contributions to the JFS Mitzvah Fund are used to meet the overall social service needs in the community.
THE DORISMAE & HARVEY FRIEDMAN FUND FOR ELDER-CARE: The Friedman’s recognized the special needs of an aging community and established this fund to help older people retain their dignity and independence. Annual donations from the Friedman’s and others to this fund are designated to provide supplemental home care after a hospital stay, occasional trips to a doctor, and temporary homemaking services, thus allowing clients to stay in their homes as long as possible.
THE JFS CHILDREN’S FUND: This fund is to guarantee that Jewish children in the Naples/Marco Island area do not go with their needs unfulfilled. This fund was established in 2003 through a generous anonymous gift. |
