Donating Goods
Around the world, many Jewish communities live in countries whose economies are in distress. In some countries, economic ruin has left families struggling to provide nutritious food, clothing and healthcare for their children. The buying power of elderly pensions often is enormously eroded. After paying for rent, heat and food, they have little or nothing left to spend on other necessities, such as medicine or clothing.
JDC seeks creative ways to assist Jewish communities around the world and find ways to supplement these needs. One such vehicle is through our gifts-in-kind program. Faced with decreasing resources and increasing needs, JDC has stepped up its efforts to expand this program. In 2006, close to $8 million worth of goods were shipped worldwide after being donated from Fortune 500 Companies, Federations, and other nonprofit organizations.
JDC ships only NEW products in BULK QUANTITIES; items shipped include new clothing, adult diapers, medication and new toys, as requested by the Jewish communal institutions that JDC supports.
