History
Originally founded in 1992, the Jewish Federation of Lane County was formed to primarily raise funds for Jews in Israel. Over the years, it has continued to support Jews in Israel, but has broadened its scope to include services to local Jews. The funding of Jewish Family Services allows us to provide emergency services, aid to the elderly, and social activities for local Jews.
