Tomche Shabbos of Boro Park provides weekly food support to families facing financial hardship. Each week, a team of volunteers assembles and delivers food boxes to approximately 400 families to help them prepare for Shabbos and Yom Tov. These boxes are distributed discreetly to protect the dignity of recipients, who are screened for eligibility before joining the program.

In addition to its regular weekly distribution, Tomche Shabbos significantly expands its operations before Pesach, delivering food and supplies to over 1,000 families. This seasonal initiative requires a dedicated budget of more than $500,000, reflecting the added expenses of the holiday and the scale of assistance provided.

The organization relies on a large network of volunteers from across the community, including professionals and students, who assist in packaging and delivering food. Recipients include a broad range of families dealing with challenges such as the death of a parent, unemployment, serious medical conditions, or elderly individuals without adequate support.
