I helped to develop a program at Jewish Family Services called the Family Advocacy Program. If a family wanted to send their children to Hebrew or Sunday School in a synogogue, or wanted to send their children to join a program at the Jewish Community Center we would help them. They were families embarrassed to go to the temple or organization and say they needed financial or emotional support. We would become their advocate and represent them to the organization. We would also fund raise to have extra dollars to help families that had special needs. We would visit them in their homes and help them feel more connected with the community.
