des, and flexibility to the program.
The money JFS got represented the
second largest chunk doled out from
the $2.3 million granted to local agen-
cies. The largest sum, $858,619, went
to 22 Detroit Medical Center and
DMC/Sinai/Grace programs.
"It's unbelievable," said JFS
President Kathy Wilson-Fink. "It's
nice to have the community recognize
what the agency provides."
The transportation program has
had three vehicles, three full-time dri-
vers and five part-time. The grant will
allow for two new full-time chauffeurs
and double the number of part-timers.
"We currently have waiting lists
because it is hard to schedule," said
Karen Fink, JFS's interim executive
director. "If there is a doctor's appoint-
ment three weeks from now, you
could be alright, but tomorrow, we
probably can't help you out.
Scheduling difficult also arises from
the limited hours the department
operates under. A 7:30 a.m. or 6 p.m.
appointment, said Fink, would be dif-
ficult to accommodate.
JFS was also a part of three other
grants: with Jewish Apartments and
Services on an in-home support pro-
gram for $163,800, the Commission
on Jewish Eldercare Services computer
network grant that will link five agen-
cies together for $137,300, and the
special needs task force that includes
six agencies for $75,000. El
