Texas Needs Your Help!

Thousands of people are homeless in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey and they need your help. Immediately following the hurricane, the Greater Miami Jewish Federation established an emergency fund to support the Jewish and general communities in Houston, San Antonio, Galveston, Corpus Christi and other areas that have been decimated by Harvey. Thanks to the incredible response of our community, we've already raised more than $110,000. The people of Texas still need our help. Most local Jewish institutions have flooded and sustained damage, and a whopping 71 percent of the Jewish community live in areas that have seen catastrophic damage. One hundred percent of funds will be directed to relief efforts. Click here to make a donation now.
