Together with The Jewish Federations of North America and the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, a major Federation overseas partner, the Greater Miami Jewish Federation is collecting funds to aid victims of the devastating floods in Pakistan. One hundred percent of all contributions to this fund will be allocated directly to the relief effort.
Federation has previously collected donations to provide relief to the Pakistani people in the wake of the disastrous 2005 and 2008 earthquakes, and for similar relief efforts by JDC in places like Haiti, countries in South Asia in the wake of Indian Ocean Tsunami, and in Myanmar after Cyclone Nargis. JDC, which receives allocations from the Annual Federation/UJA Campaign, provides life-saving food, clothing, medicine and other necessities to people in need in more than 70 countries around the globe.
