Vocational Rehabilitation program finds a strong and loyal employer partner in MN FAIR Plan

FCS’ Vocational Rehabilitation program has placed many clients in jobs over the years, but rarely have several ended up at one location, like they have at MN Fair Plan, a Minneapolis non-profit.

Dee Ross, Administrative Services Manager for MN FAIR Plan, said they hired their first JFCS Vocational Rehabilitation client in 2000 and have had a great working relationship with JFCS ever since. MN Fair Plan works to give property owners and tenants an opportunity to purchase limited property or homeowners insurance when they are unable to do so in the voluntary market. It has employed up to three people from JFCS’ Vocational Rehabilitation program, who collectively have provided more than George 30 years of service.

Assisting people of all backgrounds in times of crisis and financial hardship

Through a new collaborative partnership with PRISM, a community-supported social service organization that operates a unique food shelf and thrift shop, JFCS offers a comprehensive response to meet emergency needs when they arise. The unique vision of this partnership is to expand assistance and re-envision a food shelf as a place that not only provides free groceries in times of crisis, but offers comprehensive services and support essential to ensuring long-term stability, self- sufficiency and food security. New Opportunities for Volunteers The work and support of volunteers has always been at the heart of success for both JFCS and PRISM, and the need continues to grow. The partnership provides meaningful new opportunities for JFCS volunteers who have always done so much to help those in our community who are in need. Most urgent is the need for individual volunteer help in the food shelf and thrift shop during open hours.

PRISM is also a great place for family and group volunteering. While all projects must first be arranged with PRISM staff, there are fun and creative ways to support PRISM’s mission. Ideas include:

• Shopping at the farmer’s markets to provide fresh produce • Creating various packages, kits or bags that include a variety of items • Hosting birthday parties or special events at PRISM to help spread the word

Volunteer and donor Gary Diamond views his support of JFCS as a way to honor his parents

ongtime JFCS supporter Gary Diamond had a specific reason for creating an Endowment fund Lat the agency — he wanted to honor his mother, as well as his father’s memory. Before he created the fund, “The Mike and Mitzi Diamond Family Fund for use where most needed,” Gary was under the impression JFCS only supported the Twin Cities Jewish community. He was extremely pleased when he learned it helped people of all backgrounds. “It’s important to support the Jewish community, but I’m all about supporting everybody,” he said. Many years ago when Gary’s father retired, he spent a lot of time volunteering at a hospital. Gary wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps and do something that served the community when he retired from the insurance industry a few years ago. He found his calling in becoming a regular volunteer driver for JFCS’ Deikel Transportation program. “Not only is Gary a great driver, but fund. “Since the funds will be used where With Deikel Transportation, Gary he is such a wonderful individual,” she needed most, their thoughtful generosity and the other volunteer drivers provide a said. “His enthusiasm for our program is will leave a lasting legacy for generations convenient, reliable way for older adults contagious, and he is a great ambassador to come and benefit the clients we serve to get to a doctor appointment, grocery for JFCS and the Deikel Transportation forever,” Frank said. store, pharmacy and more. “It’s helping program.” people that need it,” Gary said. “I enjoy Neal Frank, JFCS Planned Gifts talking and getting to know the people I Director, said Gary is the kind of donor/ give rides to.” volunteer that JFCS values. “Gary is He said volunteering for JFCS was a prime example of an individual who a great way to remain active in his selflessly gives his time, talent and retirement. “I feel fortunate to be in the financial support to benefit JFCS clients,” position I am and I realized it was time to he said. “Beyond his multi-faceted do something for other people that have support, I value the friendship we’ve needs,” Gary said. developed over the years.” In the couple years that Gary has been Gary and his wife, Kathy, recently a volunteer driver, he has become a true made provisions for a gift to JFCS asset to the program, said Deb Savitt, through their estate plan, which is JFCS Community Involvement Manager. earmarked for the family’s Endowment Gary’s parents, Mike and Mitzi Diamond
