GABE W. MILLER MEMORIAL FOUNDATION AWARDS
TENTH SOCIAL SERVICE PROJECT GRANT

Alyce, Alan, Bunny and Judy
Jeffrey Foundation
Started in 1982 as a resource for families of muscular dystrophy afflicted children, the force of will of Founder Alyce Morrison Winston, Jeffrey's Mother, has propelled this institution from a $60,000 annual budget to a $1,000,000 + annual budget that has served over 10,000 children with all varieties of developmental disabilities, and their parents. So good at what it does, The Jeffrey Foundation now provides Head Start and day care services for beneficiaries of the City and County of Los Angeles.

This grant supplements the compensation and benefits of Kia Mathews, MSW (Smith College, 1971), LCSW, Director of the Jeffrey Foundation's Family Empowerment Program which provides training for 40 parents/caregivers, individual and family counseling for 20 parents/children/caregivers and support groups for 20 parents/caregivers, per year.

Gabe’s Foundation thanks Friend of Gabe, Bunny Amber of Los Angeles, for recommending The Jeffrey Foundation for this grant.
