In aftermath of relentless flooding that has devastated southern Louisiana, the Greater Miami Jewish Federation is joining Jewish Federations across North America to raise funds and respond to urgent needs both in distressed communities surrounding Baton Rouge.

Following severe storms in Southern Louisiana, rising waters have killed at least 13 people, destroyed countless homes and forced tens of thousands to flee for their lives.

One hundred percent of all contributions to this fund will be directed through The Jewish Federations of North America to support Baton Rouge Flood Relief. Those wishing to contribute to the relief fund can do so on the Internet by visiting http://www.JewishMiami.org. Checks also can be mailed payable to Greater Miami Jewish Federation, 4200 Biscayne Boulevard, Miami, Florida 33137. Please note “Baton Rouge Flood Relief” in the memo area of each check.
