For most of us, Tishrei means preparing for Yom Tov.
For hundreds of Crown Heights families, it means wondering how they will afford it.
This year, more than 500 families are counting on CSSY for help with food and basic Yom Tov necessities.
We cannot tell them no.
For 49 years, CSSY has quietly ensured that families in Crown Heights can celebrate Shabbos and Yom Tov with dignity.
Our mission began in 5738, when the Rebbe spoke about the tremendous needs of families during Tishrei and called for a fund to provide Shabbos and Yom Tov necessities to those who could not afford them.
Shimshon and Martha Stock OBM answered that call.
49 years later, CSSY is still answering it.
There are no pictures of our distributions. No names. No publicity.
The family receiving assistance might be your neighbor, your friend, your child’s classmate, or someone sitting next to you in shul.
You may never know who you helped.
They will never forget that someone cared.
That privacy is intentional. CSSY provides assistance quietly, confidentially, and with dignity.
Our goal is $800,000 because meaningful help requires meaningful giving.
A larger gift doesn’t simply move us closer to a number. It allows us to say YES when another family calls. It puts more food on another Yom Tov table. It eases the burden for parents who simply cannot make the numbers work.
If you have the ability to give more, please give more.
Give for a family.
Give for their Yom Tov.
Give them the dignity of knowing that when they needed their community, their community was there.
This Tishrei, let’s make sure no family is left wondering how they will make Yom Tov.
CSSY is 100% donor-funded. Every contribution helps us continue saying YES to the families who need us.
Your generosity puts food on hundreds of Shabbos and Yom Tov tables. From food vouchers to mental health support, from school supplies to Chanukah gifts, you are the reason struggling families in our Crown Heights community get the assistance they need—discreetly and respectfully.
Your partnership makes the difference. CSSY is 100% donor-funded.
Every dollar you give, directly impacts families in our community.
Thank you for being their lifeline.
