The Campaign

The Year-End Match-A-Thon campaign is live! 

For 36 HOURS ONLY (until 10:00 pm Wednesday), every dollar you give will be matched by our generous benefactors, to help us reach our goal of $100,000 DOLLARS. Every dollar you donate is Doubled! That means that for every dollar that you give, Chabad of Hunterdon will receive $2!

Chabad of Hunterdon relies upon the generosity of the community that we serve. To that end, 4 generous matching donors have come forward with a proposal to help Chabad end off a great year with our most ambitious campaign. They will give up to $50,000 to Chabad, provided that it is matched by a new donation from you, the community. For 36 hours we have a chance to DOUBLE our $50,000 so it becomes $100,000! Please help us help the community and donate now. 

We can do this!

Today you have the power to better the lives of our entire community!

Thousands of individuals of all backgrounds and all ages are impacted each year through the many programs that Chabad of Hunterdon County offers the community. An unprecedented opportunity is at hand which will allow us to continue growing and expanding all of our vital programs.

We need to raise $100,000 in new contributions to achieve this milestone and give us the foundational funds for our bold initiatives. Remember your contribution to Chabad of Hunterdon County is a contribution to a stronger, more vibrant Jewish and general community!

Chabad of Hunterdon County means many things to many people. To some it’s a new toy for the holidays, for others it's Hebrew School, Summer Camp, Cteen or a fresh meal for Thanksgiving; to others it’s JLI adult education institute, Lunch & Learn, new clothing for the High Holidays, a synagogue and a community center; to others still it’s a Spreading Smiles for seniors or those spending time at the Hunterdon Medical Center, a social service center for the needy and the troubled, a bi-monthly service for the residents at the Hunterdon Developmental Center. Indeed, there is little within the realm of outreach and education that is outside the sphere of focus of this multidimensional organization. Still, Chabad does not celebrate the achievement of an objective as a plateau, but as a springboard to yet greater heights.

Let us, together as partners, continue to progress from strength to strength, in creating an oasis of goodness, spirituality and kindness in Hunterdon County.

Thank you for your support!
