A donation to JFLT is a gift that keeps on giving. Every dollar donated is loaned out, repaid, and loaned out again, so your contribution helps today and in the future. Your gift provides immediate relief to individuals and households who need it the most.

JFLT is the only social service that helps people from all walks of life. Here are just a few examples of the wide range of support we offer to members of the Jewish Community:

  • We’ve helped low-income individuals cover medical costs while they wait for other social services to kick in.
  • We’ve helped middle-income families on parental leave stay in their homes by covering their overdue rent.
  • We’ve provided new Canadians with short-term income support during their job training.
  • We’ve helped students graduate from school by enabling them to cover their tuition.
  • We’ve supported families with the huge costs of fertility treatment.
  • We’ve help dozens of families every year keep their kids enrolled in Jewish educational programs.

 

Few charities have such a direct, immediate, and wide-ranging impact.
Fewer are able to keep offering this help generation after generation.
Even fewer are able to help families in need across the full spectrum of the Jewish community.
