	FHBS concentrates on four specific areas of assistance: emergency aid, including a small number of monthly stipends, personal emergency response systems for frail, elderly women, a pharmacy stipend program and camp scholarships. All cases are considered individually, taking into account any extenuating circumstances. Requests are filled as the treasury permits, often within a 24-hour period. Referrals come from communal professionals who screen the client to verify and prioritize her needs before making a recommendation to FHBS.

Future board members serve as observers at semiannual meetings and gradually take on tasks as their knowledge of and commitment to our mission increases. Former board members may choose to serve as emeritae, participating in an advisory capacity to the extent that they are interested and able.
