From a Legacy Society community member . . .
Many years ago, when I was on the Alliance Committee of the Allied Jewish Federation (now JEWISHcolorado), I was asked to meet with JFS, learn more about the agency, which I was not familiar with, and share my opinion with the Allocations Committee around whether JFS’s request was appropriate. I spent the morning with various JFS department heads and was impressed. After lunch, I went to the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Food Pantry and watched the operation awhile and was again impressed at what I observed.
While watching the work being done in the Pantry, a young woman came in with baby twins in her arms. Her husband had lost his job, and the family was destitute. I helped a JFS employee put together diapers and formula for the babies and food for the parents. I then carried out everything to her car, and the woman promised me she would come back to JFS for help with rent and helping her husband get a job.
As the woman headed to the driver’s side of the car to leave, I saw tears running down her cheeks. She came up, kissed me on the check, and thanked me for what I had done.
I knew then that the Allocation was appropriate. I have been a supporter of JFS and the Weinberg Pantry ever since.
