Jewish Family Service has received national recognition for its 2009 Tribute dinner event.

The Association of Jewish Family and Children's Agencies ( AJFCA) is the membership organization of over 130 Jewish Family and Children's Agencies and specialized human service Agencies throughout the United States and Canada. Each year they recognize the achievements of JFS agencies in marketing and fundraising efforts with the KOVOD awards. This year Jewish Family Service is being recognized for "A Tribute to Salt Lake's Living Jewish Heritage"; last year's fundraising event which honored 20 nonagenarians who had made significant contributions to our community.
