At UJA-Federation of New York, a key part of our mission is caring for those in need. We mobilize the Jewish community to become a source of care that embraces all.
Our support offers a safety net for vulnerable people of all ethnic and religious backgrounds. Through our network of agencies, we feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, train the unemployed, empower the disabled, and extend a compassionate hand to the elderly. In cases of natural and other disasters, such as after 9/11, we help support and organize aid.
As Jews, we believe in tikkun olam, repairing the world. But caring isn’t just about helping the financially needy. We help make programs available to people across the economic spectrum struggling with issues like autism, mental illness, end-of-life care, and family caregiving. We encourage innovative approaches. And we nurture the spirit, as well as the body and mind.
We make possible countless acts of loving-kindness every day. Join us.
