Judy Halper,
JFCS CEO
|
Time sure does fly when you're having fun! It seems like only yesterday JFCS was establishing the WIGS (Wildly Important Goals) that would comprise our three-year strategic plan. With only about seven months remaining on this current plan, we are already thinking about the next plan.
With that in mind, I thought I'd report on the amazing progress made over the past 2-½ years.

Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match...
|
Jewish Family and Children's Service of Minn
eapolis makes matches every single day. We m
atch volunteers to opportunities that build well-being throughout our community, we match people with our programs and services essential to help them reach their full potential, we match donors to the eff
ecti
ve projects and programs they are passionate about.
Now YOU can be the matchmaker!
Companies across the Twin Cities allow employees to make charitable donations or participate as volunteers with a qualified non-profit and are eligible for a match.
It's EASY! All you need to do is find out if your place of employment has a matching gift or volunteer policy, fill out any necessary paperwork and send it to us - we will complete the rest! AND,
some companies match gifts made by retirees and/or spouses.
The impact of your gift or volunteer hours to JFCS may be doubled or possibly tripled!
Please help us continue to make and sustain the perfect MATCH.
For more information or to make a gift, please contact Dana Rubin, Development Director, at 952-542-4803 or [email protected].
