Our Mission
In Kfar Chabad, Israel, and the surrounding areas, countless families—especially the elderly and those with loved ones serving at the front lines—are facing urgent needs. Every day, 2,000 individuals receive a hot, nutritious meal, which for many is their only guaranteed source of nourishment.
Beyond meals, this organization helps cover medical, dental, educational, and daily living costs like rent, groceries, clothing and shoes. This organization is under the leadership of Rabbi Yitzchak Raskin of Kfar Chabad, Israel.
To further strengthen this important work, Kfar Chabad USA was established to ensure the organization can continue its mission and support all those who come seeking help.
