n Dec. 7, community mem-
bers met at Jewish Family
Service in West Bloomfield
to wrap gifts that will be distributed
to local families through the JFS
Holiday Adopt-A-Family Program.
This longtime JFS program anony-
mously matches donors with families
and individuals to brighten the holi-
day season.
This year, JFS had overwhelming
positive community support, allowing
the agency to provide holiday gifts to
nearly 700 individuals, most of them
Jewish. Because of the continuing
economic troubles, the number of
families has nearly doubled since last
year.
"People who haven't needed before,
need now:' Lindsay Leder, director of
volunteer services.
More than 100 families and com-
munity groups purchased gifts.
JFS is grateful for the continued
support of the local community, in
all aspects of the Holiday Adopt-A-
Family Program. Without the partici-
pation of so many caring individuals,
families, community groups and
synagogues that have been so gener-
ous with their time and resources,
this annual program would not be
possible.
Next week, during Chanukah, the
distribution of these gifts will affect the
lives of hundreds of individuals, fami-
lies and children in our community. 17
