The history of Menora
From its humble beginning as Perth Jewish Needy in 2007, to becoming the Menora Charity Fund to where it is today, the Menora Foundation has a history rooted in love and care for our local community.
From a request for a bag of potatoes, this organisation grew to become the hand of kindness that works tirelessly to uplift our community, We are run by the community, for the community and our dedicated cohort of 200 volunteers is testament to this.
