2014 FEDERATION ANNUAL CAMPAIGN ON TRACK FOR A RECORD YEAR Our Jewish community is growing and with growth comes increased demands and new needs. According to the 2011 National Household Survey, the number of children between 0 – 14 has grown by 1.2% per year for the last 10 years. We need to be able to provide strong, vibrant Jewish education opportunities, welcoming and inclusive cultural and recreational opportunities and a strong safety net to support young people at risk. The Federation Annual Campaign is our community’s opportunity to collectively demonstrate our commitment to tzedakah and make a difference in the lives of Jewish youth. The response to this year’s campaign has been truly gratifying and reflects your commitment to strengthening our community’s overall health and welfare. |
