Federation Allocates More Funds to Support Post-October 7 Needs

As the war in northern Israel significantly escalates, the national Federation system has allocated $43 million in emergency grants to meet the critical needs of these communities. This increased funding is in addition to the more than $32 million that has already been distributed to support these at-risk populations in the months they have been under attack and evacuated from their homes. The latest aid will provide food and housing assistance for evacuees; financial support for victims of terror; social-emotional learning guidance and supplies for children unable to attend school; individual and group therapy and increased training for first responders; trauma and crisis intervention units; and respite trips for teens and young adults to escape the constant barrage. We are grateful for our partners who are hard at work answering the needs of hundreds of thousands of Israelis. Read more about our ongoing response here.
