Key Takeaways

Give to the Max Day is over, but every day is a great day to give.
During this week of thankfulness, we celebrate each person who donated to NECHAMA on this giving day, and every other day throughout the year.

Give to the Max Day is over, but every day is a great day to give.

This year our Give to the Max Day raised $2,440.78, and surpassed our 2021 donations by $270.56! And we saw donors from as far away as California participate in this day of giving!!

During this week of thankfulness, we celebrate each person who donated to NECHAMA on this giving day, and every other day throughout the year. Without you, the families that we meet might still be waiting for someone to help them rebuild and move home. Your donation funds the work that allows them to celebrate life's milestones in their own home, once again safe and dry with family and friends.

Thank you for all that you do to make our work possible!
