Message from Leadership
During the fiscal 2012 – 2013 year, Jewish Family Service Agency responded to
the needs of over 2,000 people here at home in our community.
Year after year, through the commitment of volunteers and donors, support from
the Jewish Federation of Greater Vancouver, and community, government and
private foundations, we are able to be the first to respond to individuals and
families facing challenges in their lives.
While we continued delivering vital programs and services, last year we were
able to create even more impact, as many of you also stepped up to provide
opportunities that made a significant difference and enhanced the lives of those
we support.
For the student who received a special gift from a donor to cover the cost of her
tuition for post-secondary education, this opportunity not only means a path to a
better future, but also less financial and emotional stress on her and her family.
For the senior who received a “top up” for monthly food vouchers, those extra
funds meant that he was able to purchase eggs and meat – protein that he needs
– but often is unable to, due to financial hardships.
For clients living with mental health issues the opportunity to visit the Vancouver
Art Gallery or attend the Chutzpah! Festival meant feeling less isolated and a
chance to participate in culturally enriching experiences.
For the father who could not secure gainful employment in order to provide for
his family, comprehensive employment coaching meant he was well prepared for
interviews, giving him the confidence to succeed in finding gainful employment.
For the family who struggles with a difficult home life with their at-risk youth, each
counselling session meant being one step closer to building a more positive and
strong relationship with their child and ultimately reducing the risk of suicide.
The list goes on and on. When people first come to JFSA, they may be facing
temporary or long-standing challenges in their lives. The role of our agency has
always been to ensure that they find the support that they need to move forward.
This edition of Family Matters features stories of triumph and examples of how
you have helped empower lives in our community. We thank you for your on-going
support and commitment and look forward to sharing more such stories with you
this coming year.

Supporting Those Facing Adversity
JFSA Programs
The High Holy Days is always a meaningful time of year. It is an
opportunity to gather with family and friends to celebrate our timehonoured traditions. But for those individuals and families who
face daily hardships making ends meet, it is often even more
challenging.
In August, Syd Shafron, a long-time friend of JFSA, approached the
agency to make a special gift for Rosh Hashana because he wanted to
make a difference in the lives of those who struggle with hunger.
On a monthly basis, our agency distributes food vouchers to those
in need. Through the Annette Shafron Memorial Fund, Syd made
the decision to provide families in need with voucher “top ups”
totalling $10,000.
Families who were the beneficiaries ranged from single
parents, to couples with 2-4 children. “It breaks my heart to
know that there are children in our community who do not have
enough to eat,” says Syd.
A few years ago, one evening when Syd was having a lavish dinner
at the home of a friend, he and the guests reflected on the evening.
“Here we all were, eating well, with lots of food…and there are Jews
out there that cannot afford basic needs”.
That evening he went home and started thinking about what he
could do to help. The idea came to him to establish a fund at JFSA,
in memory of his wife, Annette, who passed away in 2008. Syd’s
dollars would go to support those who needed the Jewish Food
Bank and food vouchers.
Annette (z’l) touched so many lives, was a woman of strong
principle, and lived her life with persistence, grace, and
a tremendous sense of wit and humour. She showed
unconditional love to her family and friends. Together, she and
Syd had two children, Michael and Melissa, who they raised in a
home with strong Jewish values. Values that included Ma’akhil
R’eivim - feeding those who are hungry, and Someikh Noflim
– supporting those in adversity. “It was fitting to establish this
fund in her memory.”
Thank you to Syd Shafron for establishing this fund and for this
special contribution.

Sharing Jewish Identities:
Supporting LGBTQ Youth:
Children from the Tri-Cities head to Camp Shalom
Alan Stamp, MSc, PCFTTA
For youth, coming out as gay, lesbian, or transgendered can become an experience
fraught with potential rejection, fear, hatred, danger and violence.
As a result, gay and lesbian youth are 4 times more likely to consider suicide as
compared to their heterosexual peers. Such youth face significant social, peer,
cultural and political pressures that can affect their emotional well-being.
Twenty years ago, I provided an Art Therapy seminar at Britannia Community Center
for what I thought would be a handful of gay and lesbian youth. Over 40 youth
crowded the room that night; many were still in their early teens. When a large portion
of the youth had come out to their parents, they were told that they were no longer
welcome in the family. Thus, approximately 75% were living in shelters, on friends’
couches, in the streets and in even more dire situations. Many of the youth that night
drew art that reflected their fears, worries, despair and pain of having been rejected
by their families, bullied in school and unwelcome in their broader community.
This past summer, Jewish Family Service
Agency, the Jewish Community Centre of
Greater Vancouver, the Burquest Jewish
Community Association and Jewish
Federation of Greater Vancouver teamedup to create a new summer camp outreach
program for youth aged 5-12. This was
part of an initiative with the Jewish Family
Resource Network ( JFRN).
For one week, 21 children commuted
from the Tri-Cities to JCCGV’s Camp
Shalom with the help of a school bus
provided through the program.
JFRN was created to assist families living
in the Tri-Cities area with basic needs, to
direct them to existing services, as well as
help connect them to each other so that
they may build a stronger community.
“My daughter came home every day
with a massive smile on her face,
talking excitedly about all the fun
things she did at Camp Shalom,”
explained one parent. “This outreach
initiative was a huge success from
my point of view and thank you all
again for making my daughter’s camp
experience such a memorable one!”
The summer program was intended not
only to provide youth with a new and
exciting Jewish experience in their young
lives, but also to establish a strong and
healthy connection between Jewish families
in the Tri-Cities and the Greater Vancouver
Jewish community and its resources.
Both the children and their parents
enjoyed this wonderful experience and
we have received an outpouring of
positive feedback.
Some youth may delay the coming out process until adulthood. Coming out is a
life-long process mitigated by issues of safety and perceived levels of acceptance.
However, recent research in the last 5 years is showing that LGBTQ youth are
beginning to come out at younger ages – up to 7 years earlier, on average in
North America.
Service providers – therapists, social workers, youth workers, pastoral providers,
teachers and others coming into professional contact with gay youth - require great
awareness to the multiple forms of oppression that gay and lesbian youth may
experience. Service providers must understand gay issues
JFSA is proud to coand the possibility that the youth could have additionally

A Provincial Response to Keeping
Seniors at Home
Better at Home is a new provincial government
initiative that helps seniors remain in their
own homes through the provision of simple,
non-medical support services.
The United Way of the Lower Mainland (UWLM)
manages the program, with local non-profit
organizations providing the services. Through
the Better at Home program, a lead nonprofit agency is identified for each Lower Mainland neighbourhood and given up
to $100,000 annually, depending on needs, to deliver a “basket” of services.
These include light housekeeping, transportation to appointments, light yard work,
snow shoveling, grocery shopping and friendly visiting. Some are provided by
paid staff, others through volunteers. The lead agency works with other non-profit
organization to provide the services.
JFSA welcomes this provincial response to broader access to affordable home
help across the province.
The UWLM has developed a generous sliding fee scale similar to the JFSA model,
which means that several of our clients can access household help at lower rates.
•A
ssistance with networking and
computer skills
• R eferrals to resources for 55+, along
with those that teach workplace
technology applications
Regardless of which group a candidate belongs to, with the help of JFSA’s committed
Employment Counsellors, they become empowered to grow their skills and career.
The Employment Services Program is generously funded by the Jewish Federation of Greater Vancouver, the BC Gaming
Commission and by Yosef Wosk.

Better at Home:
Since last October, JFSA’s Home Support Program has been contracted as the
service provider in Vancouver’s West End for the West End Senior’s Network, the
lead agency in that neighbourhood.
Last month, JFSA was approached to become the lead agency for the Marpole,
Oakridge, and Kerrisdale area.
Other lead agencies have hired one or two additional staff - a Better at Home
Coordinator and a Volunteer Coordinator to implement services. We hope to
begin by hiring a Coordinator in the new year. JFSA currently provides assistance
to approximately 30 Jewish seniors in this area. We estimate that the number
of clients will grow to at least 100, and we will employ 4-6 home support staff.
Marpole Place Neighbourhood House will be partnering with our agency.
One of JFSA’s new responsibilities as a lead agency will be to set up a steering
committee of local seniors and stakeholders. We are very excited to work with the
community to expand our caring, compassionate and affordable home support
service. Funding begins January 1, 2014. We hope to begin to offer services by
early February.

Stories of Success
First, came the unexpected loss of his parents
and other relatives, followed shortly by a
damaging stroke that brought lasting health
effects. Dan suffered from memory loss,
learning difficulties and deterioration of his
motor skills. He also lost his computer skills
and other work related abilities.
Sarah came to JFSA 2 years ago. As a single mother, who had just left an abusive
relationship, she was struggling to make ends meet. Her top priority was to be able
to take care of her children. “I felt very vulnerable and my personal situation was
devastating.”
Unable to continue his work as an
electrician, Dan found himself without
money and was soon living in Vancouver’s
notorious Downtown Eastside. His troubles
were made even worse with the diagnosis
of Hepatitis C, which required difficult
chemotherapy. The treatment deteriorated
his health and, in particular, his teeth, which
were permanently damaged.
Sarah’s Case Manager, met with her to assess her needs for financial assistance. As
she was unemployed at that time, JFSA was able to respond immediately and help
her with basic needs, such as food vouchers, medical assistance and utilities.
Over the next few years, with JFSA support, Sarah was able to rebuild her life.
“The agency provided me with food, my case manager helped support me emotionally,
connected me with resources and assisted me in creating a plan for achieving my
long-term goals.” During this time of transition, Sarah, considered going back to school
in order to obtain a meaningful career for herself and to provide for her family. With
a stronger foundation and encouragement she was able to take the right steps in this
direction.
Having heard of JFSA from his parents years
before, Dan reached out to us for help
affording basic resources, such as food. JFSA
provided Dan with food assistance, as well
as financial resources to repair his teeth. In
addition, our Housing Coordinator helped
Dan find affordable, assisted housing in a
much better neighbourhood. He was also
referred to JFSA’s Mental Health Outreach
Coordinator (MHOC).
“JFSA has empowered me in many ways. In times of challenge, it is comforting to
know that we are not alone in this world. That there are people who care, have
compassion and understand your struggle; and that there is help so that you can
overcome your challenges. Knowing this gave me courage to pursue my
goals, to work harder and take action.”
Today, Sarah is pursuing her educational dreams, by attending
community college in a Trades Program.
Sarah
In times of challenge, it
is comforting to know
that we are not alone
in this world.
Today, through the help of JFSA, Dan is living a
safer, healthier life. Together with the MHOC,
he has created Chaverim, a mental health
outreach group that brings people together
for weekly meetings, coffee gatherings and
even outings, such as hikes.
Dan
I can’t even begin to describe
how much my life has changed
for the better.
“I can’t even begin to describe how much
my life has changed for the better,” enthuses
Dan. “Just in the past year, my life has made a
100% turn around. Thanks to JFSA, I am now
happier and more confident. I feel connected
to the Jewish community and am able to
observe the holidays.”
Dan hopes to reenter the workforce in a parttime capacity as his health allows.

Being an immigrant isn’t easy. It’s like a second birth. You arrive in a new country
with a different mentality, language, customs and people. It is especially difficult for
older adults to become accustomed to another culture and a new atmosphere.
During the first two years after my arrival in British Columbia I had a difficult
time finding sustainable work. Immigrants go to job assigning centres where they
keep telling you the magic word: network. So, you start networking like crazy,
meeting everyone you can, forming a chain that could practically reach the Prime
Minister’s office! You spend lots of time being interviewed and send hundreds of
résumés. You meet some great people, but they all ask for previous work experience
in Canada. Nobody even considers looking at your references.
I found only casual jobs: delivering newspapers, making ship surveys, working as
a security coordinator. None of them had anything to do with my previous career.
Nor could they provide for permanent, stable and sustainable employment.
DEMOGRAPHICS:
Then I heard about JFSA. I met an Immigrant Resettlement Counsellor who
welcomed me with the genuine warmth that I desperately needed. With JFSA’s
advice and support I began the steps to get local certification. It took 6 months of
hard work, intensive studying and exams, but I achieved the accreditation I needed!
200 clients were assisted by the Immigrant Resettlement
Department last year
Suddenly, doors started to open. JFSA connected me with a former immigrant
and now a BC Ferries Captain. As a result, I began working in my industry of
choice and met the right people with relevant information. I even got to work
on a boat during the Olympic games and as a captain on dinner cruise boats!
Slowly, I began to experience this amazing feeling: I was no longer such an
outsider. I was starting to belong!
The average age of a client is 35
Having a sustainable career has opened a world of possibility for me. I am grateful
for all of the support that JFSA has provided on this journey.

“Alleviating hunger is a vital component of what this agency does. When you have nowhere
to turn to, JFSA is there to help administer aid to those in need. We wanted to honour this
occasion in a meaningful way,” said Joseph Segal.
From their efforts, $45,000 was raised for JFSA in order to help those who are hungry,
providing a tremendous boost to both the Jewish Food Bank and the Food Voucher program.
