Jewish Federation of SPBC Case for Giving 2016

At this very moment, thousands of our Jewish brothers and sisters are in desperate need of help. Many do not have enough to eat; others may be isolated or under the threat of violence or war. Where ever we are or whatever we face, we are family and we have a sacred obligation to take care of each other – with a hot meal, a warm home, a flight to freedom. Through the Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County, you can make an impact on those who need us the most – locally, in Israel and more than 70 countries around the world. MAKE YOUR IMPACT NOW.

Through our Federation, you can provide a safety net for the most vulnerable Jews, whether they are right here in South Palm Beach County or in some of the most remote places globally. From frail Holocaust survivors and seniors to individuals with special needs and families in crisis, no one stands alone when it comes to receiving the life-saving and life-sustaining services they desperately need. Federation funding helps provide food, medicine, home care services, financial assistance and winter relief for some of the world’s poorest Jews. You can help to comfort them all today with a gift to the 2016 Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County Annual Campaign

Internationally, we are investing in Jewish renewal in some of the most remote places in the world – helping many Jews discover their faith and culture for the very first time.
