Take the Call Super Sunday/Week
|
|
We set a new Super Sunday/Week record last year, raising $1,040,445 million to support those in need right here in our own South Jersey community, as well as in Israel and all around the world - in JUST ONE WEEK!
We need your help to beat that record. When you see the call, text or email over the next few weeks, consider a donation to Jewish Federation of Southern New Jersey and make an IMPACT on someone's life.
Remember, Jewish Federation of Southern New Jersey and its family of agencies provides essential services and support in the areas of Special Needs, Family & Youth, Israel & Overseas, Community Engagement, and Older Adults.
