Jewish Federation of Volusia and Flagler Counties
The Jewish Federation of Volusia and Flagler Counties was founded on January 1, 1938. The Jewish Federation represents our community's most generous tradition, to give to others, even in the most difficult times.
The Social Service Council of the Jewish Federation of Volusia & Flagler Counties, Inc. was established as a separate reporting committee in 1981 in response to a growing community need. This was demonstrated by an increasing number of requests for assistance made by individuals and families relating to financial stress, care of the aged, child welfare and other personal emergencies. The Social service Council of the Jewish Federation of Volusia a Flagler Counties started donating backpacks loaded with school supplies to area schools in 1996. These quality backpack with supplies are donated to students who cannot afford one. Guidance counselors at each school select the recipients of backpacks.
The Social Service Council of the Jewish Federation maintains a well-stocked crisis food bank which provides emergency food to people who “fall through the cracks” of the system. The food bank provides staples such as cereals, juices, canned vegetables and fruits, canned meats, peanut butter, pasta, canned and dry milk, paper goods, and other items deemed necessary for survival. Due to the current state of the economy the Jerry Doliner Food Bank is serving an increasing number of clients in Volusia and Flagler County, averaging cost of $8,000 a month. 95% of the people Federation helps are not of the Jewish faith.
