About this facility

Mission: JDC is the overseas arm of the American Jewish community, focused on its 3Rs and I mission: •Rescue of Jews at risk
•Relief for Jews in need
•Renewal of Jewish community life
•Israel: Partnerships with public organizations to improve the lives of the most vulnerable members of society "In its mission and in its deeds , JDC is the 9-1-1 of the Jewish world." JDC CEO & Executive V.P. Steven Schwager For 95 years, the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC)—also referred to as “the Joint”—has exemplified globally the principle that all Jewish people are responsible for one another. Active today in more than 70 countries, JDC and its partners work to rescue Jewish lives at risk, bring relief to Jews in need, renew lost bonds to Jewish identity and Jewish culture, and help Israel overcome the social challenges of its most vulnerable citizens, both Jewish and non-Jewish. JDC reach extends beyond the global Jewish community by providing non-sectarian disaster relief and long-term development assistance worldwide. JDC’s reach is global , yet it is uniquely equipped to make a deep impact locally. In the former Soviet Union, home to the world’s poorest Jews, a network of JDC-supported Hesed welfare centers offer relief to 168,000 Jewish elderly in some 2,800 towns and villages, while Jewish Community Centers are fueling Jewish renewal for all ages across the region. Wherever JDC works, it is viewed as a trusted partner to propel vulnerable Jewish and non-Jewish communities from dependency to self-sustainability.
