IMPACT

Who We Impact 

The Jewish Federation of Western CT provides a range of financial support and services to individuals and community organizations in our part of Connecticut, to Jewish communities throughout the world and in Israel. especially in our partnership region of Afula-Gilboa in northeastern Israel. We continue to help feed the hungry, find shelter for those in need and serve as a clearing house for people who need immediate support or guidance. However, we do so much more. We help our constituent Jewish schools (both synagogue and day schools) educate our Jewish students by providing each institution a yearly stipend based on the number of students they serve. We also provide camperships and scholarships directly to our students and their families.
