Designing the Future

JEWISH FAMILY SERVICE ASSOCIATION OF CLEVELAND

2019 Annual Report JFSA helps individuals and families find solutions to face life’s challenges with confidence.

jfsa-cleveland.org Letter from the Board Chair and President & CEO

Dear Friends,

This year we celebrate new beginnings and the power of our collective community. Between October and July we watched with awe as our headquarters was transformed week by week into our new home. Taken down to the studs last October, our new space now sparkles with the energy of clients, staff and the light that shines in from numerous well-positioned windows throughout the building. In any given hour of the day, staff can now collaborate easily in one building, clients can use our large meeting Dan Zelman spaces for Zumba or yoga in the evenings, and our art studio is brimming with creativity through the week. Alyson’s Place, our medical clinic operated with MetroHealth, is larger and more accessible, and now hosts our dementia caregiver support program as well.

None of this would have been possible without the dedication and foresight of our lay leaders and special volunteers Jeffrey Kahn and Gerilyn Gleason, who devoted countless hours to ensure the look and feel of this project came together as we hoped, and better yet, on schedule. Without our special donors and friends of the agency, we could not have embraced this opportunity.

We hope you will enjoy our stories of success and inclusion in this year’s report. JFSA is community, and we are committed to ensuring families and individuals are welcome in our home, and remain active members of whichever community they claim as their own.

10 Encouraging Creativity and Connection A special place for Isaac Mintz to explore and achieve his potential.

In 1978 when Isaac Mintz was three years old, his parents Pat and Chuck Mintz realized he was different. Two years later there was an opportunity to move to New Jersey and Pat discovered the Princeton Child Development Institute (PCDI). This was the perfect school program for Isaac. With two years of instruction and learning and working with experts from PCDI, Pat and Chuck were exposed to new approaches to raising and educating Isaac. Isaac learned how to recite the prayers and light the candles for Hanukah at PCDI.

Returning to the Cleveland area, the Mintz family joined Temple Ner Tamid in Euclid, Ohio. Isaac was a Bar Mitzvah on his thirteenth birthday and continues to enjoy observing Jewish holidays and participating in Jewish life.

Locally with educators from Mayfield Public Schools and the Cuyahoga East Vocational Educational Consortium (CEVEC), Isaac gained workplace skills in a library setting. Isaac volunteered in the high school libraries to gain more skills. After high school graduation, he received support from the Cuyahoga County Board of Developmental Disabilities and the Cleveland Law Library Director to be placed in a position with the tasks of a library page. He worked at the Cleveland Law Library Association and held his job until budget cuts Isaac enjoys working with clay in his ceramics class eliminated his position 12 years later.

14 Real Caring at Home

Bob Federman and Marilyn Bedol are grateful for the care at home they receive from JFSA and for each other.

Over sixty years ago Bob Federman and Marilyn Bedol knew each other as students at Western Reserve University. But it wasn’t until a few years ago that the two caught up with each other and have been together every since. Both had recently been widowed after many years of marriage to their spouses.

Finding a new relationship in their 80’s was not something they ever expected to happen, but they have embraced it. What they did expect, given their stage in life, is that one day they would be faced with the challenge of finding ways to stay independent and able to live at home. That happened earlier this year when Bob experienced several medical issues.

“I knew we needed help,” recalls Marilyn. “Because I’ve been an active volunteer with JFSA for many years, I knew to contact our Caring at Home division. Somebody was at our door the next day to speak with us to about what kind of help we needed.” (Above) Bob and his aide Betty Sumpter.

There security he feels with JFSA. “They know how to is a sweetness, a softness, a caring with Betty. do this,” he explains. “Their professionalism She does whatever needs to be done in the enhances my ability to do the things that make household when Bob doesn’t need direct care.” me feel good.”

DONOR PROFILE: Gerilyn Gleason, CCIM Her Passion for Design Is In-kind.

The bright and modern interiors of JFSA’s new headquarters are thanks to the vision of interior designer Gerilyn Gleason, CCIM. But in addition to her talents, JFSA benefitted from her generosity of 500 plus hours of professional time she donated to create and implement the comprehensive interior design plan for JFSA, including furniture, flooring, window treatments, lighting, appliances and many other office elements.

“When I first met with Susie Bichsel last year, I learned all about what JFSA does. Then I met the staff and spent a lot of time with them at the Drost and PDC buildings just observing,” Gerilyn recalls. “I got a solid feel for how the staff works with clients, how they organize and use storage, and how they communicate with each other.” She also asked the staff what they thought could be improved in the new office in terms of comfort, storage, even lighting.
