- Scholarships for Jewish summer camp, JCC camp and Israel trips are available to ensure Jewish children have these critical opportunities to develop their Jewish identities;
- Hillel is available to Jewish college students as a place to gather as Jews and to provide support for Jewish and Israel issues on campus;
- Affordable hot, kosher lunches are available to seniors five days a week in the Senior Adult Lounge at the JCC and delivered to the homes of those who are unable to get out;
- and much more.
The Federation Campaign also enables the Jewish Community of Louisville to meet our obligations to the Jewish community in Israel and around the world.
