It's Happening In Miami

The Greater Miami Jewish Federation has established an Emergency Relief Fund to assist people affected by Hurricanes Eta and Iota in Central America. As always, Federation will absorb all administrative costs so that 100 percent of funds collected will be used to provide critically needed aid to people in Central America impacted by the disaster.

Our community has decades of experience with hurricanes. We understand the devastation and suffering that follow a catastrophic storm like Hurricanes Eta and Iota. Even in the midst of our own crisis, let us join together to help people affected — wherever they may live — to rebuild their lives.
