333 Charity
333 charity's mission is to take a human tragedy and use what came out of it as an INSPIRATION. Presently, there are 36,000 Holocaust survivors living in the New York area, 40% of whom are living in poverty. 333.charity is partnering with UJA Federation of New York to raise funds and support those survivors. In addition to helping those survivors in need, 333.charity will be raising funds to support the people who are ensuring nothing like the holocaust ever happens again, the Israeli Defense Force (the IDF). 333.charity will be donating a portion of the funds raised to help disadvantaged youth in achieving high ranking positions in the IDF.
UJA will be supporting disadvantage youths by providing additional academic and physical preparation prior to joining the IDF, allowing for more seamless integration with their peers. UJA additionally supports the "Wings Program" for lone soldiers in the IDF which provides soldiers with necessary physical and emotional support in the absence of their families nearby. The "Wings Program" support includes counseling, care packages and hospital visits to wounded soldiers.
