Aubrey & Sylvia Farb Community Service Fund

Mission: To support small and emerging organizations that improve life for underserved Houstonians.

A letter from Gretchen Gemeinhardt, Committee Chair:

The committee is glad to support a new organization that has the potential to make a difference in the lives of developing Houstonians.

As a synagogue, Congregation Emanu El is committed to the principle shared by all religious faiths that caring for the less fortunate in our community is expected of us. We believe that the God we all worship expects us to help each other – regardless of race, color, creed, religious belief, gender or sexual orientation. It is in this spirit that this grant is being given to you.

Thank you again for the good work that your organization does. By collaborating, we can make Houston a better place.
