Dear Friend,

As the New Year approaches, please remember to make your end of year tax deductable contribution to Jewish Family Service. As you know, we are busy providing quality social services to friends and neighbors in the community who are less fortunate than you and me. Community members are constantly calling JFS in search of help.

Here are some of the services JFS has provided in this last week.

Many of clients do not have the means to pay for our services, and do not have anywhere else to turn. Our community should reach out and support these neighbors in their times of need. Second to last line should read "our organization". Last line: Thanks to people like you we have been able to continue to provide services, please consider contributing to our organization to help us continue to provide these services that are desperately needed by our community.
