THANK YOU!!
Why are Mitzvah Missions so important?
This is Jewish Dayton’s opportunity to support the human service agencies in the community that support all of the community, including us. Through case management and information and referral, JFS connects those in need to community resources and supports. This sometimes includes shelters and food pantries. In the case of People & Paws, this pet food pantry helps those who may be struggling financially to feed and maintain their pets. We know that pets, among other things, provide unconditional love and companionship. We want to help people access resources that allow them to care for and keep their fur families.
How can you support JFS Mitzvah Missions and our broader community?
JFS has three more Mitzvah Missions this year! Mark your calendars and watch for information about our:
