Philanthropy is fundamental to our mission. With over $4.73 million raised for our Annual Campaign, and $4.31 million raised for Israel, we’ve made significant progress but still have a way to go to reach our goal and help everyone who relies on us. Join us at the second annual Federation Impact Breakfast at 8 am on February 7, where you’ll gain insight into the lifesaving impact of your contributions in Israel and Ukraine. We encourage you to bring a friend or family member to hear Ana Sazonov and her journey of resilience: one woman, two wars. Please RSVP here.
