A huge THANK YOU goes out to all our donors who helped us reach our 2016 Campaign goal of $21.2 MILLION, plus an additional $1.5 million for designated projects! This morning we closed our Annual Campaign... tonight homebound seniors will receive a hot meal, happy campers will doze off in their bunks excited about all they will learn tomorrow, and a community in Israel can sleep soundly knowing they have a shelter close by. All of this is because of you. Your support, year in and year out, made this happen; and will continue to make this happen. Our work is never done, but for the moment, we give you our most profound acknowledgement and humble gratitude. |
