    JFS Annual Gala (December 8th)

    The promise of a fun-filled “journey” to the classic tropical elegance of mid-century Havana was fully delivered at the Ruth Rales Jewish Family Service (JFS) Annual Gala and Auction on December 8, 2011. Nearly 250 guests at St. Andrews Country Club in Boca Raton enjoyed a sumptuous cocktail reception, dinner and silent and live auctions of luxury items including jewelry and vacation packages. The dance floor pulsated for hours to the lively sounds of Soul Survivor. Larry Phillips received the Ruth and Norman Rales Humanitarian of the Year Award in a moving presentation at the event.

  • CLIENT PROFILE: Jerome

    Jerome was in a rehabilitation center when his wife suddenly collapsed at home. She had suffered a stroke and passed away 10 days later. Jerome was discharged, attended his wife funeral and came home to a myriad of bills, no food and very limited funds. A neighbor noticed he was losing weight and looking very frail.

    While visiting, the neighbor called the JFS Food Pantry Coordinator and within two hours, six bags of nonperishable groceries, fresh challah, and fresh fruit and vegetables were delivered along with several Publix gift cards to buy chicken and meat. Jerome was also referred to other JFS services to help him through his time of crisis.
