We unite people to create a caring community

 

As our community's central address for assessing and responding to needs, Federation works with our network of partner agencies to care for those most in need in St. Paul, Israel and around the world. With your support, we're there to help a distressed family regain their footing, to care for our elderly, to help communities devastated by a disaster. Federation holds out a safety net, and we’ll never let it fall.

 


With your support, we make a difference in people's lives

  • BIKUR CHOLIM: A CARING COMMUNITY FOR JEWISH PATIENTS AT MAYO
    For patients at the Mayo Clinic facing serious illness far from home, emotional and spiritual support is vital. Jewish patients and their families can find a warm and welcoming sanctuary in the care of Rabbi Michelle Werner and her congregation, B’nai Israel Synagogue. The Rochester Chaplaincy program, which has received funding from St. Paul Jewish Federation for more than a decade, attends to the needs of Jewish patients.

  • HELPING SENIORS STAY SAFE DURING THE PANDEMIC
    Since COVID-19 began, Sam (not his real name) doesn't feel safe grocery shopping, so he signed up for kosher meals on wheels. Sam sends our partner, Jewish Family Service of St. Paul, photos of his empty meal trays. “I’m not nervous about grocery shopping anymore because I know I’ll get at least three good meals each week," he said.

  • CREATING INCLUSIVE EXPERIENCES
    David (not his real name) attended summer camp with the help of a Federation-administered Goldberger scholarship, which provides opportunities for families whose children are on the autism spectrum. His parents said, "We could not have afforded Camp Ramah without this help, and our child would not have nearly the same connection to Judaism and the Jewish community."
