The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) sponsors programs of relief, rescue and renewal and helps Israel address its most urgent social challenges. Relief – For Jewish communities in distress, JDC offers aid.  For more than a decade, JDC has been providing food, clothing and medicine to some 250,000 elderly and impoverished Holocaust survivors in the former Soviet Union.

Renewal – Since the fall of communist regimes in Europe, JDC has been helping Jewish communities rediscover their heritage and rebuild a vibrant Jewish communal life.

Israel – JDC continues to provide assistance to the State of Israel as it addresses the social service needs of its most vulnerable communities:  children-at-risk, struggling immigrant populations, the elderly and the disabled.

Non-Sectarian Aid – In times of crisis – natural disasters, war, famine – JDC offers aid to non-Jews to fulfill the Jewish tenet of tikkun olam, the moral responsibility to repair the world and alleviate suffering wherever it exists.
