Federation’s Mitzvah Day was an unbelievable success by all measures: number of volunteers, number of organizations impacted and numbers of people helped by our volunteers. For those that have not seen some of the media about our impact and reach, I direct you to these two links:

Sticking with local media, the Pittsburgh Jewish Chronicle just published an article aboutOneTable and its newly hired Hub Manager. Federation is the local funding partner and we are really excited to be bringing this cutting edge program to inspire and engage millennials in Jewish life right here in Pittsburgh:
