Thirty-five thousand dollars of the $65,000 set as the quota for the fund campaign of the Minneapolis Federation of Jewish Social Services was raised in the first two days of the drive. Generous responses on every side made the task of the workers easy and heightened the expectations of success.
It is planned as far as possible to make the benefits of the drive worldwide in their scope. Forty percent of the sum will go to Minneapolis organizations, 25% to Palestinian activities, 25% to national institutions, and 7% for Jewish needs in Europe. The remaining 3% will be used for expenses of the campaign.
