The UJC and IGive.com have teamed up to make it easy for you to support the UJC -- and it doesn't cost you a penny!
IGive.com's stated mission is "to enable the economic power of individuals to benefit their chosen communities"; their goal is to have a portion of every online transaction benefit causes close to home. IGive has created a shopping portal that allows you to shop at your favorite online sites and stores as you always do; when you make a purchase through IGive's portal, the store donates a percentage of your transaction to the benefit of your choice. It's simple and easy -- you don't have to do anything special, and donations are made in your name.
The list of vendors on IGive's portal is 700 strong and growing; you'll find that all the most popular shopping sites (Amazon, Zappos, Barnes & Noble) are represented, plus a long list of more specialized sites. Most anywhere you shop now, you can shop through IGive.
The UJC is now a registered cause on IGive's portal; all you need to do is register as a user on IGive (it's free!) and identify the UJC as your chosen cause. Then, go about your normal online activities; IGive provides you a regular tally of the donations that have resulted in your transactions, so you can watch your support grow.
Go to www.igive.com to get started -- it's a fast, simple and zero-cost way to raise money for the UJC.
Learn to do good, devote yourself to justice; aid the wronged, uphold the rights of the orphan, defend the cause of the widow. (Isaiah 1:17)
At UJC we use Mazon funds locally for the meals we serve at Dorothy Day supplemented by the Tikvah Fund. Please consider contributing a percentage of your Passover food purchases to our Jewish response to hunger fund, Mazon.
Remember those less fortunate!
Don't forget to donate your used cell phones and toiletries for use at the Women's Center and Interfaith Aids Center. Leave them at the bottom of the staircase at the UJC and we will deliver them for you!
