HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS LEARN ZOOM TO ATTEND MONTHLY VIRTUAL SOCIALIZATION EVENTS
HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS LEARN ZOOM TO ATTEND MONTHLY VIRTUAL SOCIALIZATION EVENTS
WEST PALM BEACH, FL – August 20, 2020 – Before the current COVID-19 health crisis and recommended social isolation for seniors, Alpert Jewish Family Service (Alpert JFS) provided monthly “Eat & Schmooze” socialization events to connect the clients of its Holocaust Survivors Assistance program. Prior to the pandemic, many of these men and women might not have thought of themselves as techno-savvy, but these situations have changed with the times!
The socialization events are now being held virtually as “Zoom & Schmooze.” The new format has been fully embraced by clients, who are now anything but intimidated or overwhelmed by the challenge. Thanks to technology, Holocaust survivors are able to continue feeling connected, cared for, and supported while being distant.
“The Holocaust team worked diligently to find inventive ways to engage our Holocaust survivors during the pandemic,” said Alpert JFS Director of Long Term Care Jennifer Weems-Escobar. “We have transformed our monthly events so every survivor knows and feels that they are not alone, and that Alpert JFS is here for them. ‘Zoom & Schmooze’ is very popular among the demographic; more than 50 participants have attended recent events!”
A recent “Zoom & Schmooze” was hosted by Mind and Melody, an interactive music program that creatively stimulates participants’ minds, socially connects, and physically engages them. Each participant received a goody bag, including a snack tea bags, and maraca to shake during the musical program.
“Nothing is better than seeing the smiles on the faces of isolated survivors, many of whom are in their ‘90s, when they figure out that they can use Zoom,” said Alpert JFS Holocaust Care Manager Eva Weiss, M.Ed., Ed.S. Her colleague, Sara Zenlea, added, “Clients light up when they first come on to the Zoom screen and realize that they can hear and see each other!”
Alpert JFS’ Holocaust Survivors Assistance Program is dedicated to identifying and addressing the distinct social welfare, health care, and emotional needs of Holocaust survivors with the utmost sensitivity. Learn more about the services and support provided to survivors of the Shoah, including assistance navigating the reparations benefit process at www.AlpertJFS.org/for-seniors-holocaust-survivors-assistance/.
Established in 1974, Ferd & Gladys Alpert Jewish Family Service (Alpert JFS) is a nationally accredited service provider for children, adults, seniors, and Holocaust survivors. The non-profit, non-sectarian organization is a trusted leader, with a team of nearly 200 highly skilled professionals delivering high-quality care to community members. Alpert JFS works to ensure the well-being of children and families, independence of older adults, and quality of life for individuals with disabilities.

Unicorn Children’s Foundation Launches New Fall Virtual Support Programs
As Back to School Begins Virtually for Kids with Special Needs, Unicorn Children’s Foundation Launches New Fall Virtual Support Programs
Boca Raton FL – August 21, 2020 – Approximately 20% of students enrolled in public schools are identified as eligible for exceptional student education services. The digital delivery of educational curriculum globally has not adequately met the needs for many in this population due to accessibility challenges and social isolation. In response, The Unicorn Children’s Foundation is launching a series of virtual support classes, clubs, and workshops to fill these gaps and help their families navigate this “next normal”. These programs are intended to supplement the educational curriculum provided in schools by providing classes for building resiliency, special interest courses, employment supports, extracurricular activities, and social opportunities.
Sharon Alexander, CEO of the Unicorn Children’s Foundation, shared “So many families are concerned about the skill regression and increased social isolation since schools ended in-person learning in March and plan to start the school year virtually. We have listened to their concerns, and while this format is not optimal, we are offering a variety of programs to ensure that we can keep these most isolated members of our community engaged and feeling supported.”
The Unicorn Connection Hub has begun enrollment for a variety of courses which will launch between August 25 and September 21. The classes will be a series of weekly sessions including: mindfulness, introduction to coffee, music, fashion design, job club, and jewelry making. The workshops include: candle making, soap making, and pet care. The clubs include: learning Spanish and a social connection club. All of these programs are collaborative in nature and will be taught by community partners and subject matter experts, such as: Aspire Accessories, aZul for Better Living, Mind&Melody, and ScentsAbility.
A parent of a student in our summer Job Club shared “I must say I love overhearing him from the next room! It was so nice to see his face light up when he saw his new friends each week.”
During these unprecedented times, we must innovate to ensure that the most vulnerable members of society have opportunities to find meaning and purpose as engaged members of the “virtual” community. To review the program descriptions, schedule and complete the registration form, visit https://www.unicornchildrensfoundation.org/fallclasses.html. A limited number of scholarships may be available to families who can demonstrate financial need. If you need additional information, please call (561) 620-9377 or email [email protected].

Quantum Foundation awards $250,000 to grassroots nonprofits
Quantum Foundation awards $250,000 to grassroots nonprofits
Palm Beach County organizations receive funds for basic needs in wake of coronavirus pandemic
(West Palm Beach, Fla.) – In the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, Quantum Foundation recently provided funds totaling $250,000 to 20 Palm Beach County qualifying nonprofits to help meet the basic needs of the county’s most vulnerable residents.
The money will fund essentials such as meals, hygiene products, rent/utility assistance, clothing, transportation, and more. The funding comprises the first round of awards in honor of Quantum Foundation’s 10th annual Quantum in the Community initiative. This year, $1 million has been allocated for Quantum in the Community. Usually awarded in the fall, immediate needs pushed up a partial payout of the QIC funding, with the balance of the $1 million ($750,000) to be distributed in November.
“The COVID-19 pandemic brought forward longstanding health inequities in disinvested communities, exposing the impacts of the social determinants of health such as economic and social conditions that influence a group’s health status,” said Eric Kelly, president of Quantum Foundation. “Health equity is our way forward, and these vulnerable communities need culturally competent care and basic needs now more than ever. Health is not the absence of illness, but rather a positive state of physical and mental well-being, and these grants are a step in the right direction.”
The funds are unrestricted and will go toward operational support as well as programmatic needs. Since March, Quantum Foundation will have given away $900,000 in COVID-19 relief funding with $650,000 additional funding outside of the QIC grants. All the money allocated will stay in Palm Beach County and cover all areas from Tequesta to Boca Raton and Belle Glade to Riviera Beach.
A committee of Quantum Foundation staff and board members carefully considers each application, and grantees must meet eligibility requirements. To learn more, visit the Quantum Foundation website at https://quantumfnd.org/grant-eligibility/#qic.
Quantum Foundation’s mission is to fund initiatives that improve the health of Palm Beach County residents. In 1998, Quantum Foundation marked its rookie year as one of Palm Beach County’s newest and largest philanthropic organizations with an impressive $7.6 million granted to more than 40 Palm Beach County projects. Just over 20 years later, with assets of approximately $155 million, the organization’s focus remains on keeping Palm Beach County healthy. Their awards to date total more than $145 million and have impacted hundreds of local nonprofit organizations. Every dollar the foundation grants continues to stay in the county to benefit local communities. For information about Quantum Foundation, or to learn about applying for grants, please visit www.quantumfnd.org or call 561-832-7497.

Hanley Foundation Announces 2020 Recovery Month Video Campaign
#RecoveryIsNow
West Palm Beach, FL – As part of their Recovery Leadership Institute, Hanley Foundation is lauching a Recovery Month Video Campaign to spread awareness on the devastating rise in substance use overdoses linked to the pandemic in Palm Beach County and throughout the nation.
September is National Recovery Month and Hanley Foundation will be publishing one video per day featuring experts in various fields, local politicians, parents of loss and individuals who have successfully navigated recovery. During the month long campaign, covered topics will include: education, stigma reduction, prevention, reform and criminal justice.
These Recovery leaders will be sharing their perspectives on improvements that can be made at the County level for individuals and communities facing substance use disorder issues. The experts will explain how Palm Beach County’s Recovery Leadership will lead the way for similar change at the state and national level.
Hanley Foundation’s Recovery Leadership Institute is dedicated to creating access to long-term recovery for individuals suffering from substance use disorders. For more information on the Recovery Leadership Insitute, or to get involved, email Joshua Horton at [email protected].
About Hanley Foundation:
In the early 1980s, Mary Jane and Jack Hanley retired to Palm Beach County to discover the absence of any facilities dedicated to quality substance abuse treatment. Through the couple’s visionary leadership and great support from the community, Hanley Center and the Hanley Center Foundation were established. Nearly 40 years later and now expanded throughout Florida, the community continues to recognize the stand-alone Hanley Foundation with great support for its thought leadership and evidence-based programming. The charitable 501(c)(3) organization provides statewide resources for substance use disorder advocacy, education and access to quality treatment. The organization’s prevention programming is available to schools, churches and community groups through grant funding provided by the Florida Department of Children and Families, Office of Substance Abuse and Mental Health. With your support, Hanley Foundation is taking critical steps to change the conversation around substance use disorders.
