Project Description:
The Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County Hurricane Disaster Relief Project is seeking financial reimbursement for capital related expenses on our campus as result of the two hurricanes that plummeted Florida earlier this year. Clearly, this project is necessary in order for our campus to be able to operate at it's full potential by ensuring that our structures and facilities are fully restored and equipped in order to continue to provide for our most basic human needs. Without these resources, we would be forced to divert funds from another potential sourse of revenue thereby putting at risk our high-quality provision that we continually strive for.
