Help Victims of Hurricane Milton

Be part of Jewish Miami’s response to help hurricane victims. Hurricane Milton made landfall Wednesday night as a catastrophic storm on Florida’s Gulf Coast, causing widespread flooding and extensive damage across the state. People urgently need assistance. At the same time, recovery efforts continue for those in western North Carolina, Florida and surrounding areas devastated by Hurricane Helene, just two weeks ago. You can help victims of both hurricanes by donating today to the Greater Miami Jewish Federation’s 2024 Hurricane Fund. As always, Federation will absorb all administrative costs so that 100 percent of funds donated will provide critically needed aid to both the Jewish and non-Jewish communities affected by the recent storms. Click here to make a secure donation. You may also send a check payable to the Greater Miami Jewish Federation with the notation “2024 Hurricane Fund” to 4200 Biscayne Boulevard, Miami, FL 33137. If you wish to volunteer in affected areas, email Jewish Volunteer Center Director Lori Tabachnikoff at [email protected].
