British Emunah raises almost £400k in a 36-hour online campaign
The event, postponed due to the death of the Queen, saw donations flood in from 1,000 people across the country and abroad.
British Emunah has raised more than £385,000 in a 36-hour online fundraising campaign, originally postponed due to the death of the Queen.
Despite needing to run mid-week in order to avoid the High Holy Days, donations still flooded in from 1,000 people nationwide and abroad.
The money is the most ever raised by British Emunah from a single project or event, even exceeding the £348,000 donated online in last year’s fundraiser.
The funds will go towards a variety of projects to benefit the 10,000 at-risk and vulnerable women and children supported by Emunah in Israel. This includes providing essential therapies, the refurbishment of the kitchen at the Neve Landy residential centre and supporting the Emunah Food Fund, which makes sure every child who needs gets at least one hot meal a day.
Emunah director Sharon Dewinter said: “I want to say a huge thank you to all our supporters and donors, who worked tirelessly to help us raise as much as we possibly can to help fund projects that desperately need it.
“And even though the 36 hours are over, the campaign is still very much open. It’s not too late to donate!”
