It is my honor today to recognize Jewish Family Services and join them in celebrating their 150th anniversary. From their founding in 1872, Jewish Family Services has always adapted to meet the moment time and time again. They helped resettle Holocaust survivors in the wake of World War II, opened a group home for individuals with disabilities in the 1980s, and formed an employment services department in 2021. In the last year alone, Jewish Family Services helped over 25,000 individuals stand strong against COVID-19 and even became a temporary Afghan refugee resettlement agency for Afghans looking to start new lives in the Denver metro area. For 150 years, our community has been made a better and more inclusive place to live because of the thousands of volunteers who have pulled upon their faith to serve our community and improve the lives of others. I congratulate and thank Jewish Family Services for their service to our community and look forward to what the next 150 years will bring. ____________________

If we don't act boldly, we will spend the next decade recovering from this crisis, and many families and many communities may never recover. My colleagues on the other side of the aisle are right about one thing: This is our vision for…
