Feeding our neighbors for 30+ years
No family in our community should go hungry on Shabbos.
Tomchei Shabbos of Queens delivers fresh food packages every week to families and individuals in need — entirely through the work of volunteers.
Our Mission
The middlemen between the hungry & those willing to share
For more than thirty years we have provided weekly food packages to needy families throughout Queens, NY, expanding into underserved parts of Long Island.
Real help, real families
A parent who lost a job, an elderly couple on a fixed pension, a family hit by sudden illness. The common denominator is need — and we answer it.
Delivered to the door
Volunteers package the food and drive it directly to recipients’ homes each week, treating every family with dignity and discretion.
Your dollar goes far
No salaries, minimal overhead. Over 95% of our funding comes from individuals, and at least 90¢ of every dollar is spent on food.
Who we are
An all-volunteer family caring for its own
We are volunteers from every age, profession and background, united by one goal: caring for the members of our extended community who are in need.
Recipients are referred by local clergy, school principals and teachers, and social workers who encounter need firsthand. Over ninety-five percent of the food we distribute is purchased directly — no salaries are paid.
