Now, More Than Ever, We Need YOU

 

As our commmunity faces the emotional and financial challenges of these uncertain times, they are turning to Federation for support. Although we can't put our arms around the people who are suffering the most right now, we can ensure that they are getting the food, supplies, spiritual counseling, and emotional support they need to weather these unprecedented times.

Your gift to our Annual Campaign will ensure that we can be there now and in the coming months as we continue to face the fallout of COVID-19.
