JFCS HAS A NEW NAME

By Caryl Butterley, The LJD Jewish Family & Community Services

The children, grandchildren, and now great grandchildren, of Laurie and Linda DuBow have honored them by making a substantial gift to Jewish Family & Community Services. The agency has offi cially changed its name to The LJD Jewish Family & Community Services. LJD are the shared initials of the DuBow family’s patriarch and matriarch: Lawrence Jay DuBow and Linda Jo DuBow.

“We could not be prouder to carry the name of two such extraordinary individuals, who have meant so much to the agency, to the people we serve, and to our community. Their gift, including the creation of an endowment, will help ensure that JFCS can continue to provide the critical services that people rely on for many years to come.” said Colleen L. Rodriguez, CEO of The LJD Jewish Family & Community Services.

“I think she would be thrilled,” said Laurie DuBow about his wife Linda, of blessed memory. “Giving to JFCS is a tradition in our family. It’s particularly important because of the work they do in the community – not just helping with Jewish families, but all families in need. It’s an integral part of who we are and what we do.”

JFCS is a benefi ciary of the Jewish Federation and Foundation of Northeast Florida. Their funding helps support several of the programs and opportunities we provide for the Jewish Community. LAURIE AND LINDA DUBOW
