Donate Now to the Venezuela Earthquakes Relief Fund

The Greater Miami Jewish Federation has established an Emergency Relief Fund to assist individuals impacted by the Venezuela Earthquakes. Following powerful back-to-back earthquakes near the capital of Caracas on Wednesday, June 24 — among the strongest earthquakes to hit the country in its history — Venezuela has declared a national state of emergency. Hundreds have been killed and even more remain missing as numerous collapsed buildings are inaccessible. CLICK HERE to make a secure donation to the emergency fund. Federation’s global partners are already on the ground responding to the emergency. As always, 100 percent of funds donated to the Venezuela Earthquakes Relief Fund will provide critically needed aid to both the Jewish and non-Jewish communities affected by this devastating natural disaster. You may also send a check payable to the Greater Miami Jewish Federation with the notation “Venezuela Earthquakes Emergency Relief Fund” to 4200 Biscayne Boulevard, Miami, FL 33137.
