דער קערפער פֿון השם"In the midst of a snowstorm in Washington, D.C., shortly after federal layoffs rocked the city, a group of #Jewish families teamed up to dig their neighbors out of the snow. When the job was done, they gathered for a hot chocolate party — funded by the #HaroldGrinspoonFoundation.
The costs of the “it takes a village” snow-shoveling and the hot chocolate party, and thousands of other small Jewish gatherings, were covered by a #PJLibrary program providing subscriber families with $100 #microgrants to cover hosting expenses for small Jewish-themed gatherings. #TheGetTogether microgrant program has seen a steep spike in interest this year, particularly in smaller cities and rural areas, #JessicaMcCormick, PJ Library’s director of family experience, told eJewishPhilanthropy.
Over six months, the Get Together microgrant program has distributed over $1 million in #grants."
