ABOUT THE SUSTAINABILITY FUND


Because of you we are able to close our fiscal year in a way we never imagined possible. And while we are not out of the dark just yet, we ask you to stand by us, so we can continue to stand by you! 
 

Here are some ways we stand by you
:

  • Our Community Needs Bank provides food and household items to thousands across Long Island
  • Free programming for individuals affected by cancer
  • Social services at no cost for those most impacted by Covid-19
  • A safe space for those with Alzheimer’s and other dementias along with respite for their caregivers
  • Engaging programs for children, teens, and young adults with special needs
  • Health and wellness for your body, mind, and spirit

Here are some ways you can stand by us:

  • You may not be able to give today but keep us in mind for tomorrow. Any amount helps, at any point in the year. 
  • Refer a friend! When they join you receive a free month of membership. 82% of their membership fee goes directly to help support our community
  • Serving as an ambassador on social media helps spread the word to those who need us the most
  • Pantries on the North Shore saw a 30% increase in demand since the pandemic hit. To donate to our Community Needs Bank visit sjjcc.org/wishlist for a list of the most needed items
  • If you shop on Amazon, switching to Amazon Smile provides the same items and same prices, with .05% of the purchase price donated to SJJCC when selected as your charity of choice
  • Turn $18 into $36 and $1,800 into $3,600 when your employer offers a match for charity donations
  • Dedicate your birthday or special occasion to SJJCC and raise money to benefit the work we do
  • Plan your Mitzvah project to support an area of SJJCC that is most meaningful to you
  • Ensure the sustainability of SJJCC by including us in your planned giving. Your legacy gift promises  we will be here for your grandchildren’s grandchildren just as we’ve been here for you.

STANDING BY US TODAY ENSURES WE CAN STAND BY YOU TOMORROW
