For Some, It’s Joy. For Others, It’s Just Pressure.
In thousands of homes across our community, Shavuos is being planned with excitement; menus, learning, flowers, guests… But in over 1,500 homes, what should be a Yom Tov of joy is instead a source of quiet stress.
They’re not thinking about which cheesecake to try or which appetizer to make. It’s not about extras. It’s about basics.Milk? Eggs? Chicken? Challah? Can they make Yom Tov at all?
And this year more than ever, those questions are real.In this economy, even basics feel out of reach for so many.
Rising prices, stretched budgets, and financial setbacks are leaving families, families just like ours, without the means to prepare for Yom Tov. And it’s not just those in obvious crisis. It’s families doing their best, quietly struggling behind closed doors.
Families that once got by are falling behind. And as Shavuos approaches, more and more are turning to the one place they know will be there: Tomchei Shabbos.

Essentials shouldn’t be extras and Simchas Yom Tov shouldn’t be a luxury.
For more than 40 years, Tomchei Shabbos has been the quiet answer to a growing need. With discretion, dignity, and a massive volunteer effort, they distribute weekly food packages, bringing Shabbos and Yom Tov to the tables of more than 1800 families, many of whom are facing real hardship.
Week after week, Yom Tov after Yom Tov, over 1800 families receive what they need,delivered with care, packed by volunteers, and made possible by people like you.

• 7 million+ pounds of food distributed annually
• 88,200 individuals fed every year—69,000 of them children
• 925,000 pounds of chicken and meat given out in 2020 alone
• All powered by 350+ volunteers who pack, sort, and deliver

It’s not just about the food.
It’s about making sure that Yom Tov feels like a gift—not a burden.
Because we’re not just individuals here. We’re a community that shows up.When things get hard, we step in. When someone falls behind, we make sure they’re not left behind.
And as Shavuos approaches, the opportunity to give is even greater,both for them and for us.
Send Them Simchas Yom Tov.And Bring Brachah Into Your Own.
Giving to Tomchei Shabbos is always a zechus. But before Shavuos, it becomes something more.
As brought down by Rav Chaim Palagi-
ערב שבועות יפריש צ”א פרוטות וישלים על שיעור ב’ פעמים ב”ן… והוא סגולה לחשוכי בנים ומקרב הגאולה.

Gift a family with Simchas Yom Tov and bring brachah into your own home.
Tomchei Shabbos makes it possible.You make Tomchei Shabbos possible.
