At the MJCC we’re a community of friends who share common values and interests. The J is a non-profit organization, and we depend on member donations to support the many programs and services we provide, such as: Youth Programs & Day Camp, Therapy Pool Scholarships and Jewish Arts & Cultural Programs.

Your gift also helps us secure grants from foundations and major donors who consider “member support” as a demonstration of commitment to the MJCC. It’s not the amount of the gift that’s important; it’s your participation.
