 This is the Moment

In this economic downturn, our UJA MetroWest Campaign is facing new fundraising challenges. We are only a month away from closing the 2009 Campaign, and we need your help NOW.

Those who depend on critical services and programs are looking to us for help. They are looking to you for help.

This is the moment. We know everyone is being challenged financially in the current economy. Even so, there are many donors in MetroWest who have continued to give. We need you to do the same.

If there has ever been a moment to do what is difficult for the sake of the Jewish community, this is the moment.

Please make your gift to UJA today.
