As part of its COVID-19 Response Plan, the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles has provided Congregation Kol Ami with a grant through its Nourishment Fund. The $3,500 grant we received is making it possible to help the most vulnerable among us. If you need assistance with food, rent, or utilities, please contact Rabbi Eger at rabbi@kol-ami.org. All inquiries are strictly confidential.

The Federation's Ezra Network continues to provide case management, job counseling, legal and financial assistance independent of these funds.
