Background:
Mr. Ronni Isenberg, Senior Manager, Grants & Community Affairs with Goodman Jewish Family Services of Broward County has requested to present to the Mayor and Commissioners.
Mr. Isenberg expressed the following:
On behalf of Goodman JFS, I would like to express our sincere gratitude for our continued partnership with the City of Sunrise. We truly value the collaboration and support we have received, and we are proud to serve members of the Sunrise community. Over the past two years, we have been intentionally focused on strengthening relationships across Broward County municipalities. Most recently, the City of Tamarac awarded Goodman JFS a significant grant, recognizing both our impact and our commitment to communities where we have a physical presence. We also have a satellite location in the City of Sunrise, our RAK PAK Clothing Closet, allowing us to directly support residents in need.
With that in mind, we would greatly appreciate the opportunity to meet with the members of the City of Sunrise Commission to discuss potential funding opportunities and ways to further strengthen our partnership.
