Clarence H. Enggass, president of the Jewish Welfare Federation of Detroit, has announced the decision of the board of governor of the Federation to set the sum of $270,000 as the goal of the forthcoming Allied ##wish Campaign, to be held May ###to 15.
Mr. Engass stated that the sum of $170,000 has been decided upon as the minimum amount needed to carry on the budgetary needs of the twenty-eight agencies included in the drive.
The extra $100,000 is a specially allotted sum to be used for the building fund for the planned new structure for the Jewish Old Folks’ Home.
In addition to the inclusion of the Old Folks’ Home building project in the campaign quota, following more than six months of negotiations to secure for this effort the cooperation of every element in the Jewish community, the drive this year will include an important item for the support of the fund to assist the German-Jewish children who are to be brought to this country, as well as an additional appropriation for the assistance of German refugees and emigrants.
The $170,000 quota for the budgetary needs of the agencies included in the Allied Jewish Campaign will be used to cover the needs of nine local agencies and the following nineteen national and international agencies: United Jewish Appeal, American Jewish Committee, Bureau of Jewish Social Research, Cleveland Jewish Orphan Home, Ex-Patients Tubercular Home of Denver, German-Jewish Children’s Aid, Graduate School for Jewish Social Work, Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS), Hebrew University of Palestine, Hillel Foundation of B’nai B’rith, Jewish Welfare Board, Leo N.
