A Bold Vision for a Stronger Community
The One Family Campaign is a bold and ambitious initiative to transform and expand the vital services provided by Ruth & Norman Rales Jewish Family Services (Rales JFS), meeting the rapidly growing needs of the South Palm Beach community. With a provisional goal of $20 million, this campaign is a powerful call to action—focused on the nearly 50,000 individuals Rales JFS serves annually—delivering essential support such as food, therapy, financial assistance, and housing stability.
Why Now?
- The moment is urgent. The demand for services is rising dramatically:
- The 85+ senior population is projected to grow by 15% in five years, with over 55% requiring in-home care.
- Family households in JFS service areas will increase by 30%, with 16% earning less than $30,000.
- A mental health crisis is escalating.
- Food insecurity continues to impact thousands of working families.
- This is a critical inflection point—and Rales JFS is responding with bold action.
Five Strategic Priorities Driving the Campaign:
1. Health Services Expansion
GOAL: $4.5 MILLIONGOAL: $4.5 MILLION
With a 300% surge in demand for therapy and behavioral health support, Rales JFS will hire specialized therapists, enhance training programs, and upgrade therapy spaces with cutting-edge tools.
2. Food & Life Programs Transformation
