Ways to Give

The work of the Jewish Community Alliance represents both our community and its most generous tradition: to give to others, even in very difficult times.

As the Jewish Federation for Southern Maine, the JCA conducts an Annual Campaign to support programs and services that enhance Jewish Community both locally and overseas. In addition, Campaigns are also held each year to support JCA programs and service initiatives including: Keep the Oil Burning, Hanukkah Lights, Scholarships for Center Day Camp, Preschool, Adult Education, and Hillel. Through the generosity of our donors we also receive a variety of types of gifts that support the various parts of the JCA.
