The Canadian Jewish community is playing an important role in Haiti relief efforts. Our people have a long history of aiding those in need and this situation is no different. Every single one of our Canadian federations and regional communities have been actively supporting this cause. To date, Canadian Jewish Federations have collected over $900,000 and that amount keeps growing steadily.
The funds collected are being chanelled to several international partners who are active on the ground in Haiti. In particular, IsraAID and the JDC, international organizations with whom we work on an ongoing basis, are playing a very active and instrumental role in the relief effort.
If you have already contributed, thank you. If you have yet to make your contribution, we encourage you to consider helping out, in any way that feels right for you. The need for help will endure longer than the immediacy of the event itself. Please click here to make a secure contribution on-line.
May we continue to serve a a light unto the nations.
