Story
As the effects of COVID-19 course through the Jewish community, vulnerable individuals and families face loss of income and support services. Non-profit institutions - - from synagogues and human service agencies to community centers and schools - - are hampered by closures, human resource issues, and falling donations, which prevents them from delivering critical services to care for those in need.
This community-wide relief fund will bring them the food, counseling, social contact, emergency financial support, and in-home aid they need to weather this emergency. Please join me in the JEWISH COMMUNITY COVID RELIEF effort. Decisions about disbursing the money raised will be made by a committee of community leaders including rabbis, educators, social workers, and lay leaders who are on the front lines of learning and knowing what the needs actually are.Together, we will assure those in need they are not alone and, together, we'll make our community's safety net stronger and more supportive than ever before.
