Macken Companies is thrilled to announce the vertically integrated development, construction and brokerage firm with affiliate entities, VCM Builders and Macken Realty, has partnered with Jewish Community Services (JCS) of South Florida to provide free meals to those in need. The first food drive took place Thursday, May 28th and served over 100 families. JCS will continue to operate drive-thru meal delivery out of Macken Companies’ retail center located at 17035 West Dixie Highway in North Miami Beach every other Thursday for the next month with future dates to be confirmed. Those interested can register through their local school, synagogue or church.

"We applaud the staff and volunteers at JCS for their hard work and dedication to serving families in need during this critical time,” stated Alan S. Macken, CEO. “Our firm was searching for a tangible way to help others in our community and have gladly donated one for our retail bays and alleyway to ensure JCS has the necessary space to operate their food drive efficiently through the upcoming weeks. We thank the City of North Miami Beach their support, and in particular, Mayor Anthony DeFillipo, City Manager Esmond Scott, and the police department, all of whom have helped to make this a seamless endeavor.”

JCS’ Kosher Food Bank has provided food to more than 500 individuals and 1,200 new families through this initiative in the last two months alone and continues to serve nearly 600 Holocaust survivors. Due to the elevated implications of COVID-19, JCS is also working with Joshua’s Heart Foundation and UnitedWay to address the local needs in North Miami Beach and its neighboring communities during this time.

“We are grateful for the boundless community support on behalf of hundreds of families we serve," said Miriam Singer, JCS President & CEO. "We thank Alan Macken, Mayor Anthony DeFillipo and the City of North Miami Beach, as well as our dedicated corps of volunteers from the Greater Miami Jewish Federation, UnitedWay and JCS for their incredible dedication to helping members of our community facing food insecurity. The JCS Kosher Food Bank team has made it possible for this event to come to fruition," Singer said.

South Florida's Adam J. Tiktin, President and Broker of Tiktin Real Estate Investment Services’ (TREIS), was honored to be among the nation’s top community leaders invited to attend the American Associates, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (AABGU) Zin Fellows Leadership Program, an in-depth immersion into the issues involved in the continuing development of the Negev, Israel’s southern desert region. Each cohort consists of 15 to 20 outstanding community leaders from across the United States who are interested in a new and unique opportunity to be engaged in the future of Israel through their connection to the Negev region.

The week-long seminar in Israel featured faculty members from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU), as well as guest speakers from a range of disciplines. By exploring the Negev’s history, topography, geography, demography and sustainability, attendees came to understand and appreciate the unique role the Negev plays in the unfolding development of the State of Israel. Through study and group engagement, the program imparted insights into the challenges that lie ahead for the Negev and the knowledge for how to play a part in surmounting them.

The result of the seminar was the formation of a connected group of discerning leaders who returned to their communities equipped with the tools and excitement to share about Israel and the Negev and inspire continued engagement with Ben-Gurion University. The event also provided an exceptional opportunity for Tiktin to network with leaders across 12 industries and form fruitful relationships.

On Thursday, March 29th, the day before Passover, Tiktin Real Estate Investment Services (TREIS) purchased and donated fresh Passover foods and supplies to the newly expanded Jewish Community Services (JCS) Kosher Food Bank at 15455 West Dixie Highway in North Miami Beach.

According to JCS, the demand for fresh produce, meats and goods that meet the specific dietary laws for Passover is particularly high. TREIS pulled together a team of volunteers who spent the day purchasing and donating non-perishable staples and canned goods, fresh produce, meat and frozen items to meet those requirements.

This day of volunteering served as the kick-off for TREIS’ philanthropic initiative campaign, which serves to partner the firm with various local nonprofit organizations throughout the year. Following the donation, Bonnie Schwartzbaum, director of the JCS Kosher Food Bank, led a guided tour of the facility for all of the volunteers.

“Having grown up in North Miami Beach and now as I raise my own children here, this city is very special to me,” stated Adam J. Tiktin, president and broker, TREIS. “JCS is a remarkable organization that works extremely hard to provide for those in need, and they rely on the community for support. Having the ability to give back at such an important time such as Passover is very meaningful, and I am proud of my team for supporting this important initiative,” he added.

The JCS Kosher Food Bank is the only food bank in South Florida to which those who observe kosher (kashrut) dietary laws can turn. JCS’ Kosher Food Bank provides food to more than 380 families and nearly 100 Holocaust survivors on a monthly basis.

Kosher Food Bank recipients are able to select and ‘shop’ during pre-arranged, scheduled appointments to ensure privacy and confidentiality.
