Our Mission

Enriching Jewish life in Northwest Indiana, in Israel and around the world
​through service, programming, advocacy and fundraising.
At Home
​​We prioritize local needs to help people make ends meet, feed families, and pay mortgages. We're making a difference. And you can too.
In Israel 
​​Northwest Indiana has built a strong Partnership with communities in the Western Galilee region. Community members visit each other to share ideas about art, economy environment, music, politics and more.
Around the World 
We work with global partners to help provide basic human services and create connections that help sustain and offer hope to the weakest of our people.
