The Gloria Max Memorial Fund honors our longtime Executive Director who passed away Friday, Sept. 10, 2021, after a heroic battle with cancer. It was her wish that her passion for caring for those less fortunate that the programs she worked so hard for be carried on.
100% of donations to this fund will be used to support the following:
The Jerry Doliner Food Bank provide the less fortunate families with approximately 1 1/2 week's worth of food on a monthly basis, and provide food for Thanksgiving and Christmas/Hanukkah meals.
Fund the school supply project, which she started in 1996 and which has since provided more than 132,000 backpacks filled with school supplies to area children in need.
Provide crisis aid to those in danger of losing essential services or accommodations.
We provide services regardless of race or religion and, in fact, 98% of our clients are not Jewish.
In remembering Gloria's extraordinary life and her inspiring passion to help people in need, we stay true to the Federation's mission statement, which she always liked to include in fundraising efforts:
Our mission represents our community's most generous tradition -- to give to the less fortunate, even in the most difficult times.
God Bless Gloria Max and her family!
