The Federation is accepting donations to help those impacted by the devastating tornado that ripped through the Oklahoma City area, killing and injuring scores of people and destroying homes, schools, and places of business. A volunteer mission to provide hands-on assistance also is in the works.

 

Chicagoans may contribute online atwww.juf.org/relief, by calling 312-444-2869, or by sending a check to the Jewish Federation Oklahoma Tornado Relief Fund, Room 3022, 30 S. Wells St., Chicago, IL 60606. The Chicago Federation will absorb all administrative costs, ensuring that 100% of all donations go directly to aid those most grievously affected.

 

JUF's TOV Volunteer Network is in the process of organizing a trip to assist with relief efforts. If you are interested in participating, email TOV@juf.organd details will be sent as soon as they are confirmed.

The Decalogue Society of Lawyers is seeking volunteers
for the 
JUF Legal Service program.  

The JCLS has over 600 requests for legal services; 
to date only about 60 clients have been assigned an attorney.
