Tomchei Foundation is the national chapter of Tomchei Shabbos. Wherever you are in America, we’ll either forward your request with urgency to the appropriate local chapter or take it on ourselves, while adding your community to our roster of future chapters.
Each year, we provide direct assistance to thousands of Jewish families facing hardship.
Decades of trusted community service, rooted in Jewish values of compassion and dignity.

We are committed to transparency and efficiency. Over 94 cents of every dollar donated goes directly to serving our community.
Our programs are designed to meet families where they are — with dignity, warmth, and the full support of our community.
Our weekly food pantry and holiday meal programs ensure that no Jewish family goes hungry. We provide kosher groceries, prepared meals for Shabbat and Yom Tov, and emergency food boxes for families in crisis.

Our StoryWhen my family was going through a difficult time, Tomchei Foundation was there without judgment — just warmth and real help. We will never forget their kindness.
As a donor, I know my contributions are making a real difference. The transparency and dedication of this organization is extraordinary. This is tzedakah at its finest.
Volunteering with Tomchei has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. The impact they have on families is profound and deeply moving.
Every donation — no matter the size — makes a real difference in the lives of Jewish families in our community. Give in the spirit of chai.
Why give in multiples of 18?
In Jewish tradition, the number 18 (chai — חי) represents life. Giving in multiples of 18 is a meaningful way to honor this tradition and bring blessing to those you give in honor of.
