As 2012 and the festival of Chanukah come to a close, many people have asked how they can best help support our dynamic and growing community. We're particularly touched by this desire to help, because it’s only through your support that we can provide:
- Exquisite High Holiday services and meals
- Sukkot Dinners & Passover Seders
- Shabbat Dinners
- Campus, Young Adults & Professionals Programs
- Community Study and social opportunities
- Seniors & Volunteer Partnerships
- Holiday parties and events
- Mezuzah, Matzah, Sukkah and mitzvah campaigns and so much more
Chabad of Uptown has an annual expense (only) budget of $280,000, 100% of which Chanie & I must raise. It’s you, your family and friends that make this possible.
We are also embarking on an exciting expansion slated to be completed in 2013. A $100,000 challenge matching grant has been provided by a dedicated member to raise a total $200,000 be the end of 2012 for this effort. That means every dollar you give this month is really worth two! Please help us reach our capital campaign goal of $200,000! If you would like to participate or join the building campaign committee, please let us know.
As you consider the many fine organizations and endeavors which merit your support, please consider Chabad of Uptown as you make your year-end giving decisions. Your tax-deductible charitable donation will create more light this year and in the years ahead, ensuring a strong and proud Jewish future.
To make an operational or capital campaign donation, visit: www.chabaduptown.org/donate. To become a monthly recurring donor, as many have recently done, please check off the "recurring" checkbox.
