  • The WIC is partnering with JCC Association and The Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA) for the Blue Ribbons for Israel campaign. The blue ribbon symbolizes support and solidarity for the safe return of the hostages taken by Hamas terrorists in Israel. It symbolizes solidarity with the hostages, their families, and all who care about their safety. Wearing a ribbon publicly unites you with people of all religions, races, nationalities, ethnicities, ages and generations and demonstrates to the people of Israel that they are not alone and that good people across the globe are with them and their families during this dark time. Ribbons will be available starting Friday, October 20 at the Tucson J. Other locations to pick-up pins will be shared shortly.
