Also, congratulations to the individual winner, Becky Kopacz. She racked up 541,126 steps - an average of 17,000-plus steps per day!

CFI to officially turn 85 in July!

This month will feature an important milestone in CFI history. On July 27, 1938, CFI, then known as Jewish Vocational Service, was founded. We’ll celebrate with ice cream treats for staff and clients.

Then, on Aug. 8, we will have an outdoor party welcoming staff and clients.

Celebrate CFI's 85 years
