In honor of the High Holidays and as the cold winter rapidly approaching, 5,000 of the neediest Jewish children In Ukraine – many of which are now refugees – and thousands more from across the FSU, are now receiving special clothing packages made possible thanks to the FJC’s blessed partnership with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews and the Gloria-Jeans franchise.

Each child is receiving cards with a set amount of credit so that they can purchase clothing of their own choice, color and style, according to their own personal needs. This may include warm clothing such as outwear, coats, boots, sweaters, socks and hats.

For many of these children who lack appropriate clothing, the clothing packages are their only source of new suitable clothing.
