Leadership
HFLA is led by volunteers who give their time, judgment, and care to a simple idea: neighbors helping neighbors through interest-free lending. The board and staff on this page carry forward a tradition of generosity that has served the Washington Jewish community for generations, and they welcome you to be part of it.
