A Visit That Matters: Inside JFS’s Friendly Visitor Program

JFS’s Friendly Visitor Program connects volunteers with older adults who welcome regular company. The program invites a volunteer and client to spend time together twice each month, doing whatever brings joy. Some pairs enjoy board games, while others take leisurely walks through the neighborhood, sharing stories along the way. Many simply sit together, watching favorite shows and commenting on the plot twists.

There are no set curriculum or proscribed activities—just authentic human connection.

TODAY IS WORLD SLEEP DAY!

Sleep plays a powerful role in the mental health of children and teens.
When young people don’t get enough rest, it can show up as irritability, anxiety, trouble focusing, or big emotional reactions.

Consistent sleep routines help support mood, learning, and emotional regulation—especially during times of growth and change. Prioritizing healthy sleep habits is one simple but meaningful way to support the mental well-being of kids and teens.

If sleep challenges or emotional concerns are affecting your child or teen, Thrive services offer compassionate mental health support for youth and families, helping them build healthy routines and emotional resilience.

Like many of you, we are deeply saddened by today's acts of violence at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield. We are profoundly grateful to hear that there were no casualties and applaud the courageous response from temple security and local authorities. At the same time, we appreciate the emotional and psychological harm today has caused for those directly and indirectly impacted. JFS' Thrive is here to provide support to those seeking counseling or support to navigate these troubled times. If you are a parent or guardian of a local teen, please consider if our upcoming "Coping With Antisemitism: A Group for Teens" could be a helpful resource.

While it is a heartbreaking status quo, today's violence underscores the importance of preparedness for Jewish organizations. Like many of our peer organizations, JFS of Washtenaw County is staying well looped in and adjusting safety and security protocols accordingly.

We hold the Temple Israel community in our hearts. We hope the love and light we uplift for them helps drive out the darkness of today.

To get in touch with our Thrive team, please visit www.jfsannarbor.org/thrive or call 734-436-4249.

We’re excited to share that JFS has been awarded an Accelerator Graduate Grant from the Food Is Medicine Coalition (FIMC)!

This funding will help us strengthen our Nourish Medically Tailored Meals program by improving healthcare partnerships, building a more sustainable billing infrastructure, and expanding our ability to ship meals to clients across more Michigan counties.

With this support, we’ll be able to reach more individuals with serious health conditions who rely on nutritious, medically tailored meals to manage their health and remain safely at home.

Thank you to the Food Is Medicine Coalition for investing in community-based providers and the essential role nutrition plays in health care!
