Some 300 volunteers using 40 phone lines are set to lift the spirits of thousands of Jews in Milwaukee and throughout the world during Super Sunday, Dec. 12, and Super Week, Dec. 13-16, by asking their friends and neighbors to contribute to the Milwaukee Jewish Federation Community Campaign 2005.
As the federation’s largest annual outreach effort, Super Sunday/Super Week enables community members to sustain and affirm life through a single phone call. Funds raised for the campaign support people served through the federation’s 11 constituent agencies, 7 programs and services, and its overseas partners, the American Joint Distribution Committee and the Jewish Agency for Israel.
Here’s a sampling of how each gift makes a difference:
• $9 provides a Shabbat dinner for one student at a campus Hillel; $360 provides a Shabbat dinner for 40.
• $18 provides a food package for one of 250,000 hungry, elderly Jews in the former Soviet Union
• $54 provides a three-month utility subsidy for an Argentinean family.
• $100 provides a counseling session for a local family or child in need.
• $150 helps a local teen attend a weekend BBYO conference.
• $750 provides two months of preschool for an Ethiopian-Israeli child.
• $1,500 provides one community holiday program for individuals with special needs.
From educating Jewish children in local day schools, to providing kosher meals to the elderly, to feeding the hungry through our local Jewish food pantry, to caring for at-risk children and teens in Israel, the Milwaukee Jewish Federation strives to leave no Jew behind.
And, as part of one of the most compassionate and effective social service systems in the world, the federation has received the highest overall rating possible, including organizational efficiency, from Charity Navigator, America’s largest independent charity evaluator.
