Chesed Philly's Tomchei Shabbos is a crucial lifeline for Shomer Shabbos/Kashrus households throughout the Greater Philadelphia area. We launched 2 weeks before this past Rosh Hashana. Since our launch we've grown from 51 households to over 105 served every week.

Every Tuesday and Wednesday our dedicated volunteers show up at our warehouse to bag produce and pack boxes. On Wednesday nights our volunteer drivers head out to discreetly leave them at recipients doorsteps.  

The boxes are filled with fresh fruits and vegetables, grape juice, challah, eggs, pasta, beans, barley, canned tuna, snacks, cake, frozen gefilte fish, chicken and cholent meat. Everything a family needs to prepare Shabbos. 

Whether a family is dealing with job loss, health challenges, unexpected financial expenses or poverty, they may end up having to make the choice between keeping the lights on or being able to put proper food on the table.  We're here to help make sure that nobody needs to make that choice.

Due to diligent sourcing every donor dollar more than doubles in value by the time it reaches someone's table.
