Proving, once again, our commitment to be there for one another, Federation CJA and Agence Ometz teamed up for a clothing drive that benefited more than 600 underprivileged children and teens in our Jewish community. Able to select  brand new items that were graciously donated, the participants enjoyed a store-like shopping experience, as they outfitted themselves and chose school supplies for the coming season. More than 100 volunteers assisted in putting together this amazing community-wide project, which embodied the spirit of our collective responsibility for every member of our extended family. Pictured, Naomi Malca, an alumna of the Kefiada program, helps to set up for the event.
