#GivingTuesdayNow, A Global Day of Giving and Unity

4/30/2020

5 Comments

 
In this time of uncertainty, there's a fundamental truth that gives us hope: that together we can do extraordinary things. Over the past few weeks and months, the entire world has been coming together to stand up, help out, give back and heal. Whether through donations to community organizations, celebrating doctors and nurses at shift changes, or reaching out to a neighbor to help with groceries, generosity has been helping the entire world get through this global pandemic. Together.  

#GivingTuesdayNow is a new global day of giving and unity that will take place on May 5, 2020 – in addition to the regularly scheduled #GivingTuesday on December 1, 2020  – as an emergency response to the unprecedented need caused by COVID-19. The day is designed to drive an influx of generosity, citizen engagement, business and philanthropy activation, and support for communities and nonprofits around the world.

On May 5, the Jewish Federation of Northwest Indiana will be participating in #GivingTuesdayNow. Our Federation is answering the call to assist our most vulnerable community members and help bring our Jewish community together. We have expanded our roster of support services during this time:
  • Our longstanding Adult Friendship Club has been reinvented as a home delivery meal program. We delivered over 400 kosher meals in March and April, including over 150 Seder-to-Go meals to enhance this very challenging Passover for our seniors and families.
  • Our food pantry has expanded its hours by 50% and moved to contact-free curbside distribution to facilitate the health and safety of our volunteers, staff, and clients. We are continuing to field requests for financial assistance.
  • We are curating recommended resources on our website for virtual Jewish community and ongoing learning. Visit federationonline.org/virtual to enjoy some of our favorite selections.
  • K'Ton Ton Early Childhood educators are supporting families and children with a focus on a curriculum of love, care, kindness, and relationships. Teachers and staff are actively engaged with children through daily virtual class times and a weekly Shabbat celebration, videos of activity ideas and stories, mailing letters and cards, and an active Facebook group for families to share and interact. They have had drive-by birthday and teacher parades, and assembled over 40 "play-at-home" kits to deliver to families. 
But we can’t do this without the support of our community members. Join the movement on May 5, 2020!
  • Bookmark federationonline.org/donate today, and if you are able to give, please give.
  • Visit now.givingtuesday.org to learn about other ways you can participate in the #GivingTuesdayNow movement. 
  • Whatever your circumstances, we are here for you. Please call the Federation office at (219) 301-0960 for any additional assistance we can offer you during this time.
