FUNDING

This is a vital service to the Jewish seniors at a time when Government assistance is minimal. The Outreach Committee is responsible for meeting an annual budget of $35,000. To date the service has been maintained by contributions from generous people and organisations within both of our Jewish communities. Ongoing funding is needed to ensure that this much appreciated service continues.
