Tomchei Shabbos of the Five Towns and Rockaways provides weekly food support to local families in need. The organization distributes fresh and wholesome food packages to ensure that every Jewish household in the area can properly prepare for and enjoy Shabbos and Yom Tov. Packages include basic staples and are tailored to maintain dignity and discretion for recipients.

Each week, nearly 400 families receive food deliveries, with additional assistance extended to several hundred more before Pesach. Distribution is handled entirely by volunteers, who manage the packaging and delivery process from start to finish. The organization operates with a significant annual budget and relies on community support to fund ongoing operations.

Tomchei Shabbos serves the Five Towns and Rockaways area exclusively, with no other Tomchei organization covering this specific region. Their work addresses local needs in a community known for its affluence, ensuring that even struggling families can experience Shabbos with kavod and simcha.
