Funds Already at Work

With hundreds of donors joining in the Jewish community's response to the devastation caused by the massive earthquake of January 12, 2010, Federation has been able to raise vital funds to provide immediate emergency assistance for those most in need. Already, tens of thousands of dollars from Federation’s Haiti Relief Fund have been transmitted to Haiti through Federation's trusted, longtime overseas agency, the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC). JDC is working with numerous organizations on the ground in Haiti, wherever they are needed.
