Dear Friends,
Another successful year has passed at Jewish Family Service. We were very pleased with the agency’s performance and our ability to meet the needs of so many vulnerable members of our community. It was a year of real impact.
In 2013, JFS touched more than 23,000 lives. We helped thousands of people overcome difficult life challenges so that they could get back on track and live life to its fullest. We were able to reach more people with life-changing services than ever before. And, we were able to do it more efficiently.
We recently celebrated a special milestone in our history. It was 10 years ago that we moved into our headquarters facility on Tamarac Drive. The move to this wonderful place paved the way for unprecedented growth and gave us the capacity to deliver a host of new services and respond to community needs. In these 10 years, our annual unrestricted operating revenues increased from $5.6 million to $10.5 million. The number of people impacted by our work jumped from 14,000 in 2003 to 23,000 today.
While there is much to celebrate, 2013 also brought its share of challenges. We have seen important funding sources—including significant foundation and government grants—begin to dwindle, raising concerns about the essential financing that makes our work possible. In response, we are beginning to explore new options that will ensure our long-term sustainability and build the agency of the future. We know we can count on your support.

JFS Senior Solutions made great strides in 2013, furthering its support of vulnerable seniors. The department supported 2,286 seniors with homemaker visits, care management, counseling, and activities. Our staff of geriatric professionals is focused on helping older adults live safely and independently in their own homes by providing a continuum of care.
Our Naturally Occurring Retirement Community (NORC) program in Edgewater continues as a model for senior services, with a full range of activities, classes, and services that are keeping older adults active and engaged. In all, the NORC program served 337 seniors with 46 different activities.
Boulder JFS served 243 Jewish seniors with care management, Shabbat and holiday services in residential facilities, and volunteer visits. With only two staff members, 118 volunteers contributed 1,643 hours of service, providing companionship and an important Jewish connection to isolated seniors.
The Boulder JFS staff formed the Boulder JFS Advisory Committee to strengthen JFS’s presence and explore
new services. With a grant from the 18 Pomegranates Foundation, the committee conducted a needs-assessment survey, which provided valuable feedback on current programming and identified opportunities for growth.
The JFS at the JCC program, a partnership with the Robert E. Loup Jewish Community Center, Shalom Cares, and Volunteers of America, served 685 seniors with 68 different activities and served 6,526 kosher meals.
Thanks to a generous grant from the Jay and Rose Phillips Foundation of Colorado, JFS Senior Solutions expanded no-cost homecare provider services to many more low-income seniors.
JFS at Home, a fee-based homecare service for seniors, saw a 10% increase in clients and strengthened Jewish Family Service’s position as a quality homecare agency. JFS at Home served 118 clients and provided more than 40,000 hours of homecare services.
Ursula Loewenstein, 78, is a reluctant JFS client. Her children moved her to Denver two years ago from San Diego and the home she loved. It has been a difficult transition and she misses the life she had. But something had to happen. Due to her mounting health issues, Ursula’s life was unraveling.
Ursula has lived with MS for the past 30 years. Over time, it progressed to the point that she could no longer walk. Seven years ago, her husband and primary caregiver passed away. She hired two local people to help her with day-to-day living and was able to maintain her independence and a reasonable quality of life.
Three years ago, Ursula had a stroke that left her partially paralyzed and even more compromised. It was decided that Ursula would move to Denver to be closer to her son and into a facility that could properly care for her.
She moved into a local skilled nursing care facility, where she has 24/7 care. The move was deeply traumatic for Ursula. She lost her independence, her home, and the caregivers she adored.
Ursula’s son visited often and did his best to care for her and make her comfortable, but the emotional and social needs of his mother were overwhelming. He was unable to deal with her practical needs because she wanted to use their time together to socialize. He called JFS for help.
Ursula was assigned a JFS care manager, Laura Harter, who visited with the family to assess Ursula’s needs. It was clear that she was very lonely and struggling to deal with her life changes. Laura connected Ursula with a JFS therapist, who visited her on several occasions and helped her through the transition.
Laura sensed that a wonderful addition to Ursula’s life could come from ongoing interaction with a trained para-chaplain. For the last two-and-a-half years, Esther Wershaw, a JFS volunteer, has been devoted to Ursula by helping to meet her social, emotional, and spiritual needs. They have developed a special friendship and Ursula now has a social outlet and someone she can count on.
Esther not only visits with Ursula, but also helps organize her clothes and keeps her drawers clutter-free. “Ursula has been through a lot and she needs someone to talk to and cheer her up,” says Esther. “I really look forward to being with her.”
Ursula loves having a variety of visitors each week. Simply having people to talk to has eased her anxiety and made her feel more comfortable in her new home.

Jewish Family Service provides mental health treatment that helps people dealing with emotional challenges live more satisfying lives. Our therapists are dedicated to providing the highest-quality treatment to people struggling with trauma, anxiety, loss, or depression. We also work to strengthen healthy communication, problem-solving, and parenting skills.
This year we changed the name of the JFS Counseling Center to Jewish Family Service Mental Health Specialists to more accurately reflect the nature of our services and the profes-sionalism of our therapists.
In 2013, Jewish Family Service Mental Health Specialists provided 5,708 therapy sessions to 724 individuals. In addition, we conducted a support group to help those dealing with persistent mental illness in their families.
We are making our community a safer, healthier place by making quality mental health treatment more accessible to those who need it, including schoolchildren, the uninsured, and those with Medicaid and private insurance.
Our KidSuccess program places trained therapists in area schools, giving children, adolescents, and their families access to quality mental health care so they can succeed academi-cally. We are fostering school achievement, self-esteem, and positive social development. In 2013, KidSuccess operated in 12 public schools in Denver, providing direct mental health services to more than 650 children and adolescents.
Refugee children have very different needs as they struggle to adjust to school and life in the United States. The International KidSuccess program is working in six area public schools and served more than 500 refugee students.
The JFS Jewish Community Chaplaincy program focuses on providing direct spiritual care to those who are ill, in crisis, or near the end of their lives—in hospitals, nursing homes, mental health institutions, correctional facilities, or at home. In 2013, we visited 766 seniors in hospitals and nursing homes, and conducted two bereavement groups.
For privacy purposes, the names and identifying details of the people depicted in this story have been changed.
David, 43, is a successful financial planner who has worked for most of his career at a national asset management firm. He had it all: a high-paying job, a comfortable home, a wonderful wife, Michelle, and two young boys. He was proud that he was able to provide for his family and that Michelle was able to stay home with the kids.
Everything in David’s life was going according to plan until suddenly, it wasn’t. Just over a year ago, he was laid off following a company merger. No one saw it coming, least of all David. While it was difficult to accept, he saw the layoff as just a bump in the road. He would find a similar position at another firm and continue on with his life as planned.
But the job offers didn’t come. No one was hiring. After a few months, David
started feeling depressed. He was agitated, couldn’t sleep, and lost interest in activities that he normally enjoyed. He was using up his savings, which added to his anxiety. His family’s health insurance was about to expire, and he was concerned about keeping the house. He lost all confidence in himself. Before long, he and Michelle started fighting. The boys felt the tension at home and they too started acting out. David and his family were in crisis.
A close family friend recommended that David see a therapist at Jewish Family Service. Reluctantly, he made the call and scheduled an appointment with Betty Tullius, a licensed JFS therapist who specializes in marriage and family issues.
At first, David saw Betty alone and was able to get a handle on his depression. He understood what he was experiencing and the impact it was having on his life. “Depression is a dark and difficult place,” confides David. “I had no idea what it was doing to me, my marriage, and my family.”
Managing Depression to Save a FamilyDavid worked with Betty to develop a proactive plan to get back on his feet, including managing his depression. Betty also counseled David and Michelle as a couple and eventually brought in the boys to see a JFS child therapist who helped them deal with their confusion and anger.
It took some work, but in the end David was able to save the most important aspect of his life: his family. He and Michelle have learned to communicate more honestly and openly with each other, and the fighting has transitioned to problem-solving as a team. David got his real estate license and now works as a broker. He took a cut in pay, but enjoys the freedom to work from home so he can spend more time with the boys.
“Through all of this, I learned that sometimes you need a little help to get through life’s challenges,” says David. “The therapists at JFS are pros. With Betty’s help, I’m back, better than ever.”

This was a year of achievement, transition, and excitement. After 58 years of operating a “sheltered workshop,” SHALOM Denver has adopted a new “prevocational services” model. As the name implies, services are now focused on preparing our clients with developmental disabilities for more integrated work opportunities in the community through a combination of paid work experience, classroom training, and individual program/employment planning.
Our staff worked for more than two years to transition to our new service format and comply with complex Medicaid and government requirements. To complement our work floor experience, we now offer an array of training classes, including a computer lab. Our staff has developed thoughtful curricula, activities, and lesson plans and our clients are extremely enthusiastic about participating in the classes.
The combination of vocational training, assessment, and job seeking/keeping classes is preparing our clients to enter our small group work settings (enclaves) in the greater community.
This year we launched a new social enterprise. Clients are learning horticultural skills by creating SHALOM Peace
Planters. This collaborative venture with arc Thrift Stores uses recycled pots donated by arc, which are lovingly planted by people with developmental disabilities. We then sell the planters back to 13 metro Denver arc Thrift Stores, where they are sold to the public. We are also selling the unique planters to several area hospital gift shops.
SHALOM Denver served more than 700 clients and their families with a wide array of services, helped hundreds gain new employment skills, and helped more than 100 people move off public assistance and into jobs. In addition, we provided 24/7 care to eight adults with developmental dis-abilities in our beautiful group home.
Our Jewish Disabilities Network program has worked tirelessly to increase inclusion for our Jewish clients with disabilities at several Denver-area synagogues and has provided families with new resources from more than 40 agencies at our Jewish Disabilities Awareness Day event. Our guest speaker, Trish Downing, was an inspiration to all, as she relayed her heroic story of overcoming a bicycle accident that left her paralyzed.
Lillian Chazin lights up every room she enters with her warm smile and open arms. Everyone loves her. Lillian, 28, has Down Syndrome, but it hasn’t stopped her one bit. It hasn’t even slowed her down.
Lillian has been working at SHALOM Denver for the past seven years. She’s very high functioning, extremely capable, and a welcome addition to the SHALOM Denver team, where she assists with mailing, packaging, and assembly work. Lillian not only works and learns in all these areas, she also participates in numerous prevocational classes meant to prepare her for more integrated community employment opportunities.
Beyond meaningful employment, the most important aspect of her involvement with SHALOM is that Lillian has a place
to belong. She has dozens of friends and actively participates in all kinds of activities that keep her engaged and connected to Jewish life. She attends weekly Shabbat dinners at the JFS Group Home, goes on fun outings with the Jewish Disabilities Network, and participates in holiday celebrations.
She was matched with a volunteer buddy, Maren Rael Gest. The two of them get together every couple of weeks and just have fun. They love to cook, work on crafts, read books, and go to restaurants. They have become very close friends.
Since Lillian has been coming to SHALOM Denver, she’s learned all kinds of skills, including budgeting the money she earns, cooking simple meals, following directions, dressing for work, and getting
along with her coworkers. She’s crazy about her smart phone and loves to answer questions by searching the Internet. She volunteered her time as a member of the Jewish Disabilities Awareness Day Committee and has become a vocal advocate for people with disabilities.
Lillian enjoys her independence. She uses RTD’s Access-a-Ride and has learned to call them and check on her rides and deal with them when they don’t show up! She even has a part-time job in a local bookstore.
Lillian has a vast support system in place with people she loves and who love her in return. Thanks to the SHALOM Denver family, Lillian is living her life to the fullest and is reaching her true potential.

The JFS Family Safety Net department provides case management, food, and emergency financial aid to individuals and families in crisis. We help people in need access benefits and additional community resources, and provide case management to help clients identify and overcome barriers to self-sufficiency. Our goal is to prevent homelessness and help people succeed.
In fiscal year 2013, the Weinberg Food Pantry distributed more than 425,000 pounds of food to low-income households. We served 269 households with $317,459 in emergency financial assistance, including rent, utilities, transportation, and medical costs. We benefited 631 people, preventing them from becoming homeless.
Our focus is to be more purposeful and holistic in our services, looking at all the factors that impact our clients and not simply providing emergency relief. When people come to us for food and financial aid, it presents an excellent
opportunity to provide outreach services, case management, and referrals so they can attain long-term stability.
In 2013, we launched a new employment case management program designed to help clients at risk of homelessness overcome employment barriers, get assistance with job searches, and access community resources. We help clients update their résumés and find sustainable employment.
There is a high rate of hunger in our community and surveys of our pantry clients tell us that they have to skip meals and that they worry about food. We help our clients access food benefits by helping them apply for food stamps and by providing monthly cooking demonstrations that showcase healthy recipes using food available in our pantry.
As we look to the future, the Family Safety Net department will enhance its homeless prevention services with an increased focus on the needs of the “whole” client to better understand and confront barriers to self-sufficiency.
Sometimes life’s challenges can be overwhelming. Sometimes we all need a little help to make it through a tough time. That’s what happened to Betsy Lutkus. Thankfully, JFS was there.
For the last 22 years, Betsy made her living as a dancer at a local club. It was something she fell into as a young woman. It was to be a temporary job, but she was good at it and she made a decent living—enough to support herself and her beautiful nine-year-old daughter, Savannah.
Last February, she arrived at work to find out that she was being laid off. She was told that she wasn’t pretty enough anymore. At 45, she was informed that she was too old to be a dancer.
Dancing is all that Betsy knows. She has no other skills. She has a high-school education, but can’t type or work on a computer. She has no other work
Reinventing Betsy experience. Betsy also suffers from severe anxiety and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), which makes even simple tasks a challenge.
The layoff was devastating to Betsy—financially and emotionally. She didn’t see it coming, but looking back, she realizes that she stayed in the business too long. She went into a deep depression that prevented her from facing reality. Her money soon ran out and she and Savannah were on the verge of homelessness. She applied for benefits and was able to get $710 per month. But the rent for her modest apartment is $610, leaving her just $100 to live on.
Friends told her to contact Jewish Family Service for help, and she finally made the call. Betsy met with Dicia Kemp, a JFS case manager, who immediately came to the rescue with rent, bus passes, and access to the Weinberg Food Pantry. In
addition, Dicia referred Betsy for mental health services and a program to help her manage her finances.
Betsy’s top priority was to find work. She met with JFS’s employment specialist, Shira Mandel, who helped her get a part-time job at a fast-food restaurant while she explores longer-term employment.
“JFS has saved my life,” says Betsy. “Dicia and Shira are my angels. I know I’m not an easy case and they are so patient.”
Betsy is on a path to self-sufficiency and a new life. She’s very grateful to JFS for all the help she has received. “What JFS has done for me is truly beautiful,” she says. “No one judged me. Instead I was treated with respect and dignity. For the first time in a very long time, I have hope. I will come out of this situation to a place where my daughter will be proud of me.”

Volunteers are an essential resource for Jewish Family Service. Their impact is immeasurable, not only for the agency but for the community as a whole. Volunteers sig-nificantly extend the reach of our staff and allow us to fulfill our mission of service to the vulnerable in our community.
The Volunteer Services program engages volunteers in meaningful, fulfilling opportunities to offer expertise and work directly with clients. Whether it’s working in the Weinberg Food Pantry, serving as a Friendly Visitor to an isolated senior, or supporting our fundraising events, there are multiple ways that individuals, families, and business groups can help make a difference in the lives of the people we serve.
In 2013, we were fortunate to have the dedication of more than 800 hardworking volunteers who gave selflessly to the agency and its clients.
• 836 volunteers contributed 22,178 hours of service, a 7% increase over 2012.
• 335 food pantry volunteers spent 4,898 hours sorting, stocking, and distributing 426,477 pounds of food.
• 51 para-chaplain volunteers gave 2,179 hours of their time to provide a Jewish connection to isolated Jews and Holocaust survivors.
• Para-chaplain service leaders conducted 291 holiday and Shabbat services for more than 2,112 residents of nursing homes and assisted-living facilities.
• 59 Friendly Visitor volunteers in Denver and Boulder provided 3,844 hours of companionship to senior clients.
• 22 volunteers gave 2,121 hours of consultation and profes-sional expertise to many projects benefiting the agency.
Leland Huttner, 86, has been a passionate JFS volunteer para-chaplain since 1996. He conducts regular Shabbat and holiday services at several assisted-living and skilled-nursing facilities, giving Jewish seniors an important connection to their faith they might not otherwise have.
The JFS para-chaplain program was designed to reach out to isolated Jewish seniors and meet their spiritual needs. In the case of Leland Huttner, sometimes his reach goes a little beyond that demographic.
A few years ago, there was a new face at a Shabbat service at Emeritus at Roslyn Senior Living Community. Ann had asked her Jewish friend, Lilo, where she went on Saturday mornings. When told she was going to religious services, Ann asked if she could attend. Of course Leland welcomed the lovely woman with open arms.
He thoughtfully explained the Sh’ma and other prayers so that Ann wouldn’t feel uncomfortable or excluded. He explained the Mourner’s Kaddish and the Mi Shebeirach. She loved the Manischewitz wine, challah, and most of all, listening to Leland. Though not Jewish, Ann regularly attended services for the next two years as she and Leland developed a wonderfully rewarding friendship.
One day Ann’s pastor called Leland to inform him that Ann had suffered a stroke and was asking for the “rabbi.” Leland rushed to her side at the hospital.
Ann soon passed into a coma. “Even though she was unconscious, she knew I was there,” says Leland. “Ann’s daughters asked if I would lead a healing service. Honored, I went home and drafted a service that included both Christian and Jewish elements. When I led the service the next day, I asked some of the Emeritus residents and staff to attend and
share their feelings. Everyone spoke so fondly of this very special lady.”
Leland visited Ann over the next several days until she passed away. At the next Shabbat service Leland performed, one of Ann’s daughters attended and talked to Leland for a long time after the service. He was a great comfort in her time of loss.
“There is no script when you are a para-chaplain, and sometimes the unexpected happens,” says Leland. “In this case, I developed a special relationship with a very dear woman. I am so grateful to have been able to be there for Ann when she needed me most.”
Leland went above and beyond his para-chaplain duties with Ann, who just wanted to learn more about Judaism. In the end, he provided not only knowledge but friendship and comfort to her and her family.
