Moishe House
Moishe House Miami residents get together for a photo after volunteering for the Jewish Community Service Alliance Food Bank in Miami.
“We (Moishe House) knew service was a priority for our thousands of residents and participants but we did not have the skills to support it in a meaningful or strategic way. By partnering with Repair the World, not only did we gain the deep knowledge and expertise we needed, but we also were connected into a network of supporting organizations. Already, we have seen the advantage of building a platform through Repair the World.”
—David Cygielman, Moishe House CEO
