JF & CS of Atlanta Receives Funding from Breman Foundation to Help Augment Critical Services in Response to Pandemic

ATLANTA (Jan. 25, 2021) – JF&CS of Atlanta  has received a gift of $12,500 from The Breman Foundation, Inc. to support the JF&CS Emergency Assistance Program, which has expanded significantly in response to the global pandemic.

The funding will help implement a management information system for the emergency assistance program and food pantry. This new technology will increase process efficiencies that will enable a small staff to manage data, and increase the number of people processed to receive emergency assistance and food pantry assistance. This will include functions like validation of need, payment processing and documentation of emergency resolutions agreed upon with clients, property owners, utility vendors, and others.

More than $650,000 has been distributed to Atlanta residents within the last 10 months. As more people have suffered due to the pandemic, JF&CS has worked to provide emergency assistance, resources, nutritious food, and career support to the community.

“Our emergency financial assistance program and our food pantry have grown exponentially during the pandemic to help thousands of people in need over the past 10 months,” said Terri Bonoff, CEO, JF&CS Atlanta. “This grant from the Breman Foundation will help support streamlining the technology needed to get assistance to people in need as quickly as possible.”
