GOING OUT OF BUSINESS SALE EVERYTHING MUST GO! New At Federation The Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit has added two new mem- bers to its staff. Stewart Carroll 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.
