The 2025 Annual Campaign of the United Jewish Federation of Tidewater recently crossed over the milestone $5 million mark, on its way to a successful close. The campaign year officially closes on Monday, June 30. Every attempt is made to have all gifts closed before that date. The Campaign is doing well – ahead of its dollar pace at this time last year, but slightly behind in terms of the number of gifts closed. The goal is to reach as many Jewish community members as possible to participate in this important fundraising effort.
Dollars raised during the Campaign are allocated to service delivery partners and agencies at home and around the Jewish world.
Generous gifts of support to UJFT’s Annual Campaign enable:
- Clients to receive various kinds of assistance from Jewish Family Service of Tidewater.
- Students to engage in Jewish education opportunities at Strelitz International Academy, Toras Chaim, Bina, and Talmudical Academy, among others.
- Virginia college kids to have access to a Hillel on campus for Shabbat dinner or help navigating tough situations on campus.
- Community members to be able to enter the JCC with confidence to enjoy the programs and services offered there, knowing they are safe and protected, because of security initiatives.
- Elderly Jews in Ukraine to receive food and fuel from UJFT’s overseas partner, the JDC – just to get through a third frigid, war-torn winter.
- Israelis to receive counseling services and emotional and physical therapies to address their inner and outer war wounds.
On behalf of all those folks and so many others, the Federation thanks all who’ve made a gift of support to the 2025 UJFT Annual Campaign and have subscribed to the belief that “All Jews are responsible for one another.”
