Help Tornado Victims by Donating to the Jewish Federation of Greater Oklahoma City

The Jewish Federation of Cleveland has opened a mailbox to gather aid from across the Jewish Federation community for victims of the tornado that killed 24 people in Moore, OK.  

Donations will support relief efforts of the Jewish Federation of Greater Oklahoma City, which is coordinating efforts on the ground with longtime partners, including a local food bank, Habitat for Humanity, and the Red Cross. One hundred percent of funds donated will go to the local Federation and its relief efforts on the ground, according to a prepared statement.  

The Jewish Federation of Cleveland’s Board Chair, Reneé Chelm, and President, Stephen H. Hoffman, agreed to make an $18,000 emergency grant from the Federation’s Endowment Fund. 

"Our hearts go out to all those who were in the path of this disaster and who are grieving the loss of their loved ones," said Michael Siegal, Chair of the JFNA Board of Trustees and former chair of the Jewish Federation of Cleveland in a press release. "This was a terrible tragedy. The destruction of an elementary school filled with students and teachers was especially painful."
