Watch Your Child Discover the Joy of Giving!

This year, as part of our annual campaign, Federation CJA is excited to present the Tzedakah Box Project, a unique, interactive initiative empowering children to experience the joy of giving firsthand. 

 

Through this initiative, Federation CJA is providing tzedakah boxes to children in Jewish day schools and CPEs across Montreal, transforming spare change into a powerful lesson on Chesed, Klal Israel and Tikun Olam.
