Chaveirim, established in 2001, is a volunteer-driven organization that provides non-emergency assistance to the Orthodox Jewish community. With over 400 volunteers, they operate 24/7, responding to a wide range of situations including car lockouts, flat tires, dead batteries, and aiding the elderly and handicapped with daily tasks. Their advanced dispatch and communication systems ensure prompt and efficient service. Chaveirim has responded to over 250,000 calls since its inception, highlighting its vital role in community support.

The organization serves multiple neighborhoods such as Boro Park, Williamsburg, Flatbush, Manhattan, and the Catskills during the summer months. Volunteers undergo thorough screening and training to maintain high standards of service. Chaveirim's commitment extends beyond routine assistance; they have been instrumental during emergencies, such as responding to carbon monoxide incidents and severe weather conditions.

Beyond immediate assistance, Chaveirim engages in proactive community safety measures. They conduct vehicle safety inspections before summer vacations and collaborate with other organizations like Hatzalah and Shomrim during large-scale emergencies. Their services are offered free of charge, funded entirely by community donations, reflecting a deep commitment to chesed and communal responsibility.
