Many families in our community are facing an unexpected and painful reality: their SNAP food benefits have been cut off due to the government shutdown.
For those who already struggle to make ends meet, this loss is devastating. And for others — families who have never before needed our help — the situation has suddenly become desperate.
At Chevra Simchas Shabbos V’Yom Tov (CSSY), we’re seeing it firsthand.
Families who rely on our regular support now need even more help just to keep food on the table.
Families who usually manage on their own are now turning to CSSY for the first time ever.
We’ve begun sending out emergency food vouchers and checks, but our resources are stretched thin. The requests for help are increasing every day — and we cannot do it alone.
Your partnership today will directly provide food and basic necessities for Crown Heights families who have nowhere else to turn.
Every dollar makes a real difference for a neighbor in need.
Please open your heart and help us continue this urgent work.
Together, we can ensure that no one in our community goes hungry during this crisis.
With gratitude,
Benjy Stock
