The JCRC initiative “Operation Snow Bird” to help provide winter coats for asylum-seekers heading on to colder climates via Jewish communities in more wintry spaces received some nice coverage in the Jewish News: “Operation Snowbird 2.0 collects hundreds of coats for refugees heading north” 

Read more about the campaign, and the support from Jewish communities in Northern Arizona (“Operation NoAZ”), and across the country (“Operation Snow Bird”).

The JCRC thanks the Jewish Community of Sedona & the Verde Valley, Temple B’rith Shalom in Prescott, and Congregation Lev Shalom in Flagstaff the year prior, for their support on Operation NoAZ.  It further thanks the JCRCs and Jewish communities of Providence (RI), Boston (MA), and Youngstown (OH), and  Buffalo (NY ) the year prior, for their support on Operation Snow Bird.
