Partnering with NECHAMA, a Jewish disaster relief and recovery organization, we provided an allocation toward the purchase of a supply truck for disaster response teams. And B’nai B’rith also provided funds to NECHAMA to help after the Louisiana flooding in the fall.
Bringing together our disaster relief and inclusion programs, we supported the Associated Professional Educators of Louisiana to assist educators in replacing supplies and classroom materials and equipment destroyed by floods. We also donated to various Louisiana schools 263 Diverse Minds Writing Challenge books for schools impacted by the flood for their libraries and students. Preparedness is a prominent part of our disaster work, and we created 600 disaster preparedness kits for B’nai B’rith Senior Housing in Houston and Pasadena, Texas. |
