Host an iPod drive within your local community!
Our organization provides a program called Music & Memory (www.musicandmemory.org) which provides personalized iPod-based playlists to older adults that are living with dementia.
Personalized music has been proven to greatly improve the quality of life for these individuals, and can be a great source of support to them and their families.
We are seeking new or used working iPods, iPhones, or iPads to use for the program, which will go to great use improving lives!

Mission Statement
The mission of Jewish Family Service is to strengthen individuals, families, and communities through counseling, care management, support services, and education. Jewish Family Service serves individuals of all spiritual preferences and income levels.
Description
Jewish Family Service is a private non-profit organization which provides social support services for individuals, couples, and families of all denominations. We offer all services based on a sliding-fee scale, and never turn anyone away.
We have a strong Care Management program, which uses mental health centered care management practices to coordinate and provide resources to help older adults age independently within the home, or transition to higher levels of care with minimal difficulty.
Volunteers are most often utilized throught the care management program, in which volunteers provide social interaction through friendly visiting, assist clients with errands such as grocery shopping, and provide transportation to medical appointments.
Jewish Family Service employs licensed clinicians for comprehensive counseling and support services.
