Perpetuity Fund & Challenge Grant
We are forever grateful for the grants, donations, and community partnerships that make our Kosher Meals on Wheels program possible. However, each year we must still raise additional funds to cover the full cost of meals, and ongoing support is never guaranteed. To ensure the program’s future, NCJW | MI is launching the Kosher Meals on Wheels Perpetuity Fund with a goal of raising $500,000. A generous $25,000 challenge grant from the Marcia Applebaum Jewish Older Adult Enrichment Fund will be unlocked with five gifts of a minimum donation of $5,000. We invite you to be part of this lasting impact by becoming one of our founding donors of this fund. Your support will help sustain this essential program for years to come.
