Tzedakah Opportunities

Tzedakah (Bringing Justice to People through Giving) is a central mitzvah of Judaism. JRC’s tzedakah funds give JRC members, their families and their friends a way to fulfill the traditional obligation of tzedakah, to support our congregation and its work in the community, and to honor, commemorate or express gratitude.

To make a donation to JRC, please download our Tzedakah Opportunities form and mail or drop it off with your contribution to the JRC office.

Donations may be sent to:

Jewish Reconstructionist Congregation
303 Dodge Avenue
Evanston, IL 60202-3252

If you wish to make a charitable stock transfer, please email or call us to request detailed instructions.

Mentsch Marketing

You can also support JRC when you shop for groceries. Whether you're cooking for a holiday or just doing the weekly shopping, it's easy to be a Mentsch Marketeer!

When you buy groceries, at no extra cost to you, JRC can receive a percentage of every purchase you make. JRC receives 5% of every $50 and $100 card you purchase for Jewel, Dominick's and Sunset Foods. Download the Mentsch Marketing order form or call the JRC Office to place your order today.

Please note: As of November 2010, we no longer accept credit card payments for grocery card purchases. You can pay by cash or check, or, for regular monthly orders, arrange for a monthly electronic funds transfer (EFT) from your bank account.
