Menorah Park and its community partners recognize that it is a challenge to find concise, accurate data in one place, especially during crisis situations. One can easily become overwhelmed in the search for up-to-date, relevant information about benefits, and it becomes further challenging to weigh the choices available and their application to our specific personal and financial needs.
