With ongoing changes in social safety net funding and the rising costs of living, the Jewish Federation knows this is a time of great uncertainty for many in our community. The Jewish community is here for anyone who needs an extra hand to make it through. Please consider leaning on our community when needed, and supporting others when you can.
Together, we can continue to work towards the Jewish Federation’s vision of a resilient, thriving Jewish community where every person feels welcomed, valued, and connected.
