Did you know?
 Nearly 136,000 impoverished elderly Jews throughout the former Soviet Union received food assistance last year through a network of Hesed welfare centers, established with help from the Jewish Federation-supported American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC). Food debit cards are an increasingly important part of this program, and have enabled around 85,000 elderly Jews across the region to purchase their preferred fresh foods in local stores. Learn more about JDC's Hesed welfare centers. |
