Hurricane Sandy, a storm of unprecedented magnitude, struck the eastern portion of the United States Monday evening leaving 48 dead and countless more injured, homeless and unsure of what comes next, their lives and peace of mind in turmoil. In response, Jewish Federation of Winnipeg has established the Hurricane Sandy Relief Fund to help support recovery and rebuilding, and to provide immediate aid where it is needed most.
One hundred percent of all proceeds collected by the Federation for this fund will be distributed by The Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA), as part of a North American-wide response to help victims in the Jewish and general populations. Jewish Federation of Winnipeg will collaborate with JFNA, which will work to assess the needs in affected communities and provide immediate relief.
