Who We Are
Our Mission
To support caring, safe, inclusive and enduring Jewish Communities.
Our Priorities
Caring for Jews in Need
If we don’t take care of our community who will?
Because we believe it is our responsibility, the Federation leverages the strength of our community to provide aid for Jews in need. The well-being of Jewish seniors is a core priority.
Our work also includes seeing to daily necessities for those in need, connecting people to the skills and services necessary to be self-sufficient, and ensuring children with special needs and others at-risk have their needs met and can participate in Jewish life.
