CCJCC is proud of the work we have done in the last few years to further our mission of strengthening the Contra Costa Jewish community. In addition to the grants, our Under One Tent partnership with local synagogues, schools and other Jewish organizations in Contra Costa continues to innovate, adapt, and provide meaningful programs, while our Young Families' programs are attracting many new families for outdoor activities. We look forward to more in-person programs whether at shul, at our homes, or out in the community in the coming months.
