Mission

Distribution of Kosher food and other household items to meet the basic needs of financially vulnerable families and provide referrals to social services and other assistance to such families in order to further their financial stability.

990 for the year ended June 30, 2025

Program accomplishments

  • Over the course of the fiscal year, the Chesed Center serviced 2904 unique individuals, who reside in 30 zip codes in five counties, whose incomes are below 200% of the FPIG Federal Poverty Guidelines. The clients are able to select from produce, proteins, shelf-stable food, cleaning products, personal care items, and other basic staples on a monthly basis. In addition, we run an annual school supply distribution each August where children are given new school supplies, backpacks and uniforms. We also partner with another agency to provide periodic distributions of clothing and shoe gift cards at no cost. Another program is our large Passover distribution, where 3500 individuals were provided with food necessary to celebrate the holiday with dignity.
    Expenses $667,186
  • In addition to the no-cost food, household items and gently used clothing distributed on an ongoing basis, the Chesed Center runs an annual clothing sale prior to the Jewish Holidays. Approximately 98 families benefited from the sale of select clothing items which were subsidized and sold below wholesale cost.
    Expenses $17,587 · revenue $47,734
