Join us online this Thursday, December 17 - the fifth of Tevet - for an extraordinary 24 hour fundraising campaign! For 24 hours only, every dollar that you donate will be doubled on the spot by matching donors! That's right - doubled!
Chabad of the Bay Area counts entirely on the grass-roots support of people like yourself to enable its work. Your participation in this special campaign will help us cover this year's budget and be on firm ground for continued activities and growth in 2016.
Please stay tuned for more and just think about the impact you can make when your generous gift is doubled!
As this fiscal year comes to a close, we look back at a year of activities and outreach that touched many of our Jewish sisters and brothers in the Bay Area, with insightful classes, meaningful Jewish celebrations, Shabbat and holiday dinners, welcoming services and above all, one-on-one caring interactions that enriched and uplifted the lives of one individual and family at a time.
This year also saw the launch of our new Center for Jewish Life & Learning to enable us to further broaden our ability to provide more meaningful opportunities for Jewish learning and celebration throughout the Bay Area!
As an independent non-profit, Chabad of the Bay Area is made possible by your partnership and generosity. Every little bit counts and makes a big difference.
Please consider making Chabad of the Bay Area a part of your end of year, tax-deductible giving.
We are also excited to once again be launching a special one-day gift matching campaign (see next post). If you wish to donate now, please see the info below:
