The UMJC, in partnership with Chevra-USA (formerly Anshe Rachamim), is striving to bring help to Jewish people of Eastern Europe in their time of need.

The name "Chevra" means "friendship". Their goal is to help Jewish people in need, regardless of religious perspective. Their work began during the break up of the Soviet Union, when a Jewish man from Krakow, Poland, and some of his friends contemplated the enormity of the destruction of the Jewish people in WWII. They began helping elderly holocaust survivors still living in Poland; bringing them food and clothing and helping them with household chores.
