An unprecedented crisis calls for an extraordinary community.

1 in 8 community members who struggled with poverty before COVID-19 are now in greater danger. Tens of thousands of community members have been made newly vulnerable, due to job loss and financial crises. That is why the UJA has launched an Emergency Campaign for Community Resilience.

The power of the collective

Fueled by our volunteers and donors, UJA has been supporting the urgent needs of the most vulnerable.

1,000+

volunteers mobilized

20,000+

phone calls to identify the vulnerable

2,500+

vulnerable households supported with food and supplies

Growing Needs

But the needs are escalating rapidly. We are seeing the warning signs of a community in growing crisis:

85%

Community members requesting addiction/dependency counselling

80%

Request for help from Jewish families in financial crisis

40%

Jewish seniors needing new forms of assistance

30%

Community members requesting Kosher Meals on Wheels

30%

Holocaust survivors requesting help

The Power of a Community Investment

With your support, we can provide life-changing social services to community members in crisis and keep the newly vulnerable connected to the essentials of Jewish life.

An emergency like this requires a strategic, community-wide approach. UJA has a comprehensive plan – mobilizing our network of more than 100 partner organizations – to ensure our community’s renewal and recovery.
