You CAN make an immediate impact! Every dollar raised through the Virtual Food Drive will be used to buy nutritious foods for our community. AMMWEC will match the dollars donated by you all.

AMMWEC, SALEF, and the Orange County Jewish Coalition for Refugees recently worked together to hold a community service event collecting donations for migrant women in detention centers. Due to the efforts of these hard-working women, we were able to collect and deliver an unprecedented amount of goods, medicine, and sanitary products for the migrant women and girls in need. We thank SALEF and the Jewish Coalition for Refugees for collaborating with us and helping us give back to the community!
