We Need Your Help to Help Those in Need

The last few years have been a very challenging time for the world, the JCC and for those who need us most. For nearly 60 years we have strived to "turn no one away because of the inability to pay" for programs and sevices. And yet it has become increasingly difficult in the recent past to:

- provide scholarships for pre-school children and campers
- help those with disabilities to access our therapeutic programs
- bring the frail elderly to our luncheons and activities
- make art and artists available to low-income and minority families

Our program and membership fees, at best, cover the cost to maintain the facilities and operate the programs, but simply cannot provide for all those in need.

We are all so fortunate to have the Osher Marin JCC here for the entire community. Please take a moment to take a look at the information below and then consider giving a gift that will make a difference. We look forward to crediting your generosity and invite you to enjoy the Center and the benefits associated with your tax-deductible contribution.

The Osher Marin JCC Mission Statement
The Osher Marin Jewish Community Center is a place where people can enhance their lives through various activities that reflect the unique values of Jewish history and culture. We embrace the entire community and invite all to participate with us.
