15 index.indd 69 8/29/16 3:35 PM What does the Federation do? We help people.

Through the Federation, we have the opportunity to make a collective impact and to significantly change people’s lives.

Imagine what our community could look like if we joined together to...

- Care for Jews in need and build vibrant Jewish communities

- Increase our community’s understanding and support of Israel through education and experiential connections

- Encourage young Jewish adults to fully embrace their heritage and engage in our community

- Help our seniors remain active, healthy and independent longer

Your gift to the Federation fosters Jewish education, inspires young Jewish adults, cares for Jewish seniors and forges ties with Israel. With your support, we help the most vulnerable individuals and families among us—children, single parents, those with special needs and the elderly—here, in Israel and in 70 countries throughout the world.

We build community.
