Help. Give. Hope. 2008 Annual Campaign

A single life, say our sages, is like a world. Save a life and you save a world. Change a life and you begin to change the world. We can’t stop the bombing. We can’t stop the threat of terror. But we can deliver comfort and support. We can give hope. Your gift to the United Jewish Community/Jewish Federation of Las Vegas for worldwide emergency funds in times of disaster helps us reach out to those in Israel who have no one else to count on and nowhere else to turn. more
Las Vegas Senior Lifeline (LVSL) is a nondenominational program of the United Jewish Community / Jewish Federation of Las Vegas. This program is a product of a federal grant and local matching grant. We provide social services to seniors age 60 and over who live within the greater Las Vegas area and need assistance to remain living independently in their own homes. Our program targets seniors at risk of losing their independence and provides them essential services that will enable them to remain living safely at home as long as possible. more information
