JCC Sustainability Fund
One COMMUNITY. One HOME. One FUTURE.

Community. It’s a feeling of fellowship. It’s a warm, welcoming and inclusive place that provides comfort, support and companionship.

Home. It's a place we know will always be there when we need it. It’s a feeling of family that offers us a sense of security and helps us get through good times and challenging times.

Future. Knowing that future generations will have the same or even greater opportunities.

That’s why so many consider the Shimon and Sara Birnbaum Jewish Community Center their community, their “home away from home.”

Every day at the JCC, we connect with friends and form relationships with new people who have discovered the value our Center plays in their lives. A strong, dependable sense of Community has never been more critical than now. We have always felt it is essential to be dedicated to creating an open, safe, understanding and accepting environment. It will always be an integral part of our day-to-day mission for this JCC to be a place where everyone feels welcome from the moment they walk through our doors.

The JCC continues to provide the essential services our members and friends rely on -- from education and health & wellness to social activities and recreation. Thanks to our donors who step up every day and never waver in their support, we are a strong JCC making a difference each and every day.

Your donation today to the JCC Sustainability Fund helps the JCC to have the necessary resources needed tomorrow to provide programs and services our community needs and depends on.

Summer camp for children in our community who are homeless

Partnering with our food bank for those with food insecurity

Making sure every child can have an early childhood education

Programming for those in the community with cognitive and physical disabilities,

Providing meals and socialization to seniors

Creating opportunities for health and wellness

The cost of providing all these programs is escalating and far outweighs our sources of revenue.

As a social service agency, your support helps us remain strong and relevant for many in our community. Your dedication puts you at the heart of our Center with others who believe in the JCC and the work we do.

Please consider investing in the JCC with a donation to help us continue to “Welcome” all who enter our “Home” now and for future generations.

One COMMUNITY. One HOME. One FUTURE.

Community. A feeling of fellowship. A warm and inclusive place that provides comfort and companionship.

Home. It's a place we know will always be there when we need it. A feeling of security and understanding we wrap around us to get through even our toughest times.

Future. Knowing that generations to come will have the same or greater opportunities we have now.

That’s why so many consider the Shimon and Sara Birnbaum Jewish Community Center their community, their home, their family's future.

And that has never been truer than in the past year and half, when connecting with our friends, family, community and culture became more important than ever.

Throughout the pandemic, the JCC stood strong, continuing to provide the essential services our members and neighbors rely on – from education and personal transformation to social activities and recreation. Thanks to our donors who stepped up, we found new reserves of resilience, adapted through uncertainty, and made it through an unimaginable era.

Your donation now to the JCC Sustainability Fund helps the JCC make sure we have the people and resources needed to provide the programs and services our community has grown to love and depend on.

The cost of providing all these programs have been significant and far outweigh our sources of revenue. As a social service agency we are confronting a different future. We have faced diversity before and have overcome it. With your help, we will do it again.

Your support helps us remain strong and reliable. Your dedication puts you at the Center of those who believe in the JCC and the work we do.

Please consider making a donation and help us continue to be able to say to all who come through our doors: “Welcome home.”
