Client Impact Statements

"I needed a change for me and my itty-bittys and my husband — that's what I'm fighting for every day — because he's not giving up and I'm not either. You can say JFS stabilized my home!"

"I don't drive. Never have. If we didn't have the RIDE program, we would have to change doctors, or not go at all. We like the drivers. They are very courteous and show up on time."

"I was looking for help with anxiety. Instantly I felt comfortable with my JFS therapist. JFS has created a really welcoming, safe space for me to talk about very difficult, vulnerable subjects."

JFS Supporter Spotlight

Volunteering is a family affair for the Wheeler Family. "It's a group thing, all of us going and giving our time," says Tim Wheeler. "We want to allocate time to help others." It's a great way for all of them — Tim, Corally, Elizabeth (age 17), and Lincoln (age 4) — to spend time together.

"I think it's a privilege to work in the Pantry." Sandy Weiss has volunteered with JFS Orlando since 2018, first as a RAISE coach and now as a full-fledged Pearlman Emergency Food Pantry volunteer. "I helped somebody with the RAISE (Recognizing Abilities & Inclusion of Special Employees) program here and I got to know the job description. So it just evolved."

"If your community is suffering from the lack of food, then the community as a whole is suffering. We're one community, one people, and it's important that we all take care of each other. That's why JFS appeals to us, because of their wide range of services, from food to mental health to simply making families more stable."

JFS Orlando joins roundtable discussion addressing food insecurity in Central Florida – WFTV

“These are real world situations for me, and I can’t wait a year for y’all to make a decision. It’s a fight. How is this possible? We’re talking about food,” President of Jewish Family Services of Greater Orlando Philip Flynn said to the panel. “People need to eat, so my solutions are, I don’t have any solutions. I can only save the person that’s standing in front of me, and I can’t do it without the food.”
