"RIGHT NOW, MOST WOMEN ARE IN SURVIVAL MODE. THEY ARE
VERY GRATEFUL FOR THE CALLS — I HEAR A LOT THAT THEY CAN
BREATHE EASIER JUST KNOWING I AM HERE."

counselling calls/contacts with
Jewish women facing domestic abuse

This data is alarming and reminds us that our community is not immune to family crises and domestic abuse. As the pandemic goes on, so too will the strain on vulnerable families. The need to provide a strong, holistic Jewish social safety net through UJA’s network of partner agencies is more important than ever.


From now until December 31, 2020, your gift can go even further. Any new or increased gift will be matched by 50% by the Jewish Federations of North America’s Human Services Relief Matching Fund. This special match will make a significant impact on how far your gift will go in helping our community. For example, if your gift normally provides 20 people with counselling support, this will enable us to provide these vital services to 10 more people.

CAN YOU HELP?

Your gift to UJA strengthens our community in so many ways. This year, your gift will go toward UJA’s Emergency Campaign for Community Resilience, the top priorities of which are to support the Jewish vulnerable and maintain the essentials of Jewish life. All UJA allocations will be scrutinized through the lens of continuity and resilience.
