"At Muhlenberg College Hillel we are grateful for the support of Men of Reform Judaism through Reform on Campus Grants. We fundraise our entire budget and with over 600 Jewish students on campus, it has been challenging to fund all of the initiatives that our student leaders dream up. MRJ's ROC Grants have enabled us to amazing and impactful programming on campus. We brought a Reform rabbi to campus to teach about the ethics about what we eat and about the Jewish history of chocolate. It was a wonderful event- made possible by MRJ's ROC Grant. The ROC Grant process is straight-forward and accessible, enabling our Hillel staff to focus on working with students. Thank you Men of Reform Judaism for your support!"
