Chesed Philly's Tomchei Shabbos

This year make your

Maos Chitim as mehudar as your matzos!

Many families within our Greater Philadelphia Orthodox community are facing financial hardships, making it difficult for them to acquire essential items for yom tov. These individuals, often friends and neighbors, endure their struggles quietly. How can we celebrate Pesach with a spirit of freedom and joy while our neighbors struggle to buy even the most basic yom tov necessities?

Chesed Philly’s Tomchei Shabbos is providing Pesach food packages to over 100 local families in need. This special distribution will include matzah, wine, grape juice, chicken, meat, fish, eggs and more that they otherwise could not afford.

Your generous donation to this Pesach campaign—fully tax-deductible—will make a significant difference, allowing our community to enter yom tov with dignity and peace of mind.
