Bring Joy to Kids During Chanukah
Tax deductible
Join me in making a difference!
For my bar mitzvah, I'm raising money to benefit the Chanukah Gift Program at Jewish Family Service of Tidewater Inc. This program makes sure that children of Jewish families that are struggling financially still receive Chanukah gifts. Families provide JFS with "wish lists" and JFS works with donors on fulfilling the wishlists.
My goal is to help Jewish tweens and teens particularly because they are the children hardest to buy for. I am trying to raise enough money so that at least 10 kids can receive $200 in gift cards. Last year JFS served 24 tweens and teens with $200 in gift cards from generous donors.
Raising money for this program is important to me because for most of my life my family participated in this program. I always helped pick out the items on a child's wish list who was around my age. It is important to me that kids get to enjoy Chanukah with generous gifts from our community, even if their parents can't afford it. My bar mitzvah is on December 12, during Chanukah.
Any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.
With COVID-19 fundraising for this program is even more important because JFS will have to change how they give out wish lists, and receive gifts this year. Giving to this project will help JFS ensure that tweens and teens are covered with getting gifts that they want and need.
JFS raises money for the Chanukah Gift Program far in advance of Chanukah so that they know their budget, can purchase the gifts, and give them to the families before Chanukah begins.
I hope you will join my family in supporting this important program!
