Supporting Surfside

While the tragedy in Surfside has started to fade from the headlines, the Greater Miami Jewish Federation remains committed to helping individuals and families recovering from devastating loss. To date, thanks to the generosity of more than 8,000 donors, Federation has distributed approximately $630,000 in financial assistance through gift cards and direct deposits to personal bank accounts. After losing everything, this type of help allows those affected by the catastrophe to begin to replace personal items they lost such as clothes, cell phones and other essentials. We are continuing to work closely with our primary human service partner Jewish Community Services of South Florida to ensure survivors and families have a complete continuum of assistance, crisis counseling and housing opportunities. If you or someone you know requires financial assistance, food, counseling, bereavement support or is facing other challenges, please call 2-1-1. Operated by JCS, the free, confidential helpline can guide you to the services you need.
