History
Chabad's mission is to reach out to others with acts of goodness and kindness. We're a community-based nonprofit organization whose efforts are rooted in traditional Jewish values -- and many of our programs help the needy regardless of background. Chabad has for many years, in the United States and throughout the world, actively promoted a greater awareness of the concepts of education, morality and decency amongst all people. The local center was established in 2007 to provide many diverse educational and social programs and has been successfully impacting our community in many positive ways. The Chabad Jewish Community Center of Folsom is a local, independent and financially self-supporting entity. Every dollar that we receive comes from the generosity of people like you. We are a 501(c)(3) organization (Tax ID# 26-0588970) and your donations are fully tax deductible.
