Toronto's Jewish Organizations are playing an important part in helping the Jewish Home for the Aged and Baycrest Hospital Building Expansion Campaign.
Carl Keyfetz, Q.C., Chairman of the Organizations Division commended the imany organizations which i have contributed to the campaign and said "they are setting a tine example to the rest of the community."
The Building Expansion Campaign is in its "over the top" phase and still has SI,000 000 to raise to achieve the objective of 4,500,000.
The money is urgently needed to build a new Home for the Aged and to enlarge Baycrest Hospital. Mute testimony to the desperate situation which brought about the Building Expansion Campaign is the waiting list of 300 old men and women.
Toronto's Jewish organizations have answered the call so far with donations totalling 526,000.
