There is Still Time to Join Us in Providing Relief
to the Jewish Community in Ukraine

  

The Jewish Federation of St. Joseph Valley is joining the Jewish Federations of North America in providing relief and aid to the Jewish communities of Ukraine. The Ukrainian Jewish population, estimated at around 300,000, is one of the largest in the world. The area is already home to some of the world's poorest Jews, and the currency devaluation and increasing economic uncertainty are affecting the entire community.

 

100% of your gift will go to provide emergency relief assistance, emergency housing, refugee centers, summer respite camps and Aliyah services.

 

You can donate now by sending a check made payable to the Jewish Federation

to 3202 Shalom Way, South Bend, IN 46615 with Ukraine Relief in the memo line,

 or by donating online today by clicking here.
