The Jewish Federation of
Metropolitan Detroit has added
two new mem-
bers to its staff.

of West
Bloomfield has
recently joined
the organiza-
tion as infor-
mation technol-
Carroll
ogy director,
and Devorah
Ehrlich Rich of
Southfield has
come aboard as
a senior plan-
ning associate
in Federation's
Planning and
Allocations
Rich
Department.
Carroll is responsible for the
operation and management of the
Federation's donor database and
information systems, as well as the
Federation's computer network —
which provides Internet access to
18 Jewish agencies and more than
a dozen congregations in the area.
He will oversee the implementa-
tion of a new online donor center
that will enhance the Federation's
web-based donor services.
Rich oversees the programs of
Federation's Community Service
Division and staffs the ElderLink
Community Education subcom-
mittee. Her responsibilities focus
on older adults, families at risk,
individuals with special needs,
and other vulnerable members of
the community. The agencies she
works with include: Jewish Home
and Aging Services, Jewish
Apartments and Services, JVS,
Jewish Family Services, Hebrew
Free Loan and Jewish Community
Council.
Survivors' Grants
Jewish Family Service of
Metropolitan Detroit has
received a grant of $25,000 from
the Humanitarian Aid
Foundation (HAF), matched
with another $25,000 from the
Jewish Fund to support home
care services for elderly
Holocaust survivors. JFS is the
only Michigan agency to receive
TN
i
November 17 - 2005
one of eight national HAF
grants.
This matching grant from
HAF and the Jewish Fund, which
supplements existing programs
at JFS, are crucial in the effort to
ensure that elderly Holocaust
survivors live their last years
with comfort and dignity, says
Wendy Pittman, HAF Executive
Director. JFS serves some 350
Holocaust survivors annually.
Commemorating the 60-year
anniversary of the 1945 libera-
tion of Nazi Germany death
camps, the HAF grants were tar-
geted to areas where larger pop-
ulations of World War II victims
reside.
Launched in 2002 by
acclaimed leaders of the busi-
ness and diplomatic communi-
ties, the HAF mission is to pro-
vide assistance to victims of
atrocities. HAF has focused its
initial program of work on pro-
viding support to Holocaust sur-
vivors and American prisoners
of war that were held hostage
and forced into slave labor in
Japanese mines, factories, or
other forms of hard labor with
little food and no medical treat-
ment.
JFS was awarded a grant to
establish the Erwin & Riva Baker
Memorial Holocaust Survivors
Emergency Fund, which will
provide emergency assistance to
indigent survivors in the Detroit
area.
The grant, established by
Steven Gershman of Oak Park, is
administered through the HAF
in Washington, D.C. This new
fund at JFS will address life-sus-
taining needs such as prescrip-
tion and non-prescription med-
ication, transportation for med-
ical needs, food, and medical
and dental treatment.
Erwin and Riva Baker were
the only members of their
immediate families to survive
the Holocaust. They never had
children, and the money left by
the estate has been used to
establish this fund.
The community-at-large is
invited to contribute to this fund
as a general donation or by des-
ignating their gift when sending
tribute cards through JFS. For
donations, call (248) 592-2339.
