As in past years, they come to you this time each year with the annual end-of-the-year fundraiser request. This is the only concerted donation drive of the year and they rely on your support to help keep Fox Valley Jewish Neighbors and all of its activities running smoothly.
Fox Valley Jewish Neighbors does not have dues and generally does not charge for the activities. Instead, it relies on donations that allow it to offer many activities to its broad constituency.
