ERUUF will benefit in 2018-2019 from projected pledges of 352 households, totaling $810,000. Over 95% of ERUUF’s operating budget is funded by the congregation. The pledge drive is organized entirely by volunteers, with the wise support of staff. Thank you to the teams that planned and implemented the drive, gave testimonials, wrote thank-yous, called, created communication materials and produced final reports.
