Since 1914, the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, Inc. (JDC) has served as the overseas arm of the American Jewish community. Our mission is to serve the needs of Jews throughout the world, particularly where their lives as Jews are threatened or made more difficult. JDC sponsors programs of relief, rescue, and renewal and help Israel address its most urgent social challenges. JDC is committed to the idea that all Jews are responsible for one another. And, in the spirit of tikkun olam, the Jewish moral responsibility to improve the human condition for all global citizens, JDC also provides non-sectarian disaster relief and long-term development assistance worldwide.
