Moes Chitim

Every year, Jewish Family Service’s Moes Chitim (Money for Wheat) campaign helps people have a more meaningful holiday by distributing funds to be used to purchase food for Passover. The funds raised help take away the concern that an individual or family may have about not being able to have a seder or have the special foods one eats during the holiday.

The generosity of many donors helps hundreds of individuals and families each year.

Jewish Family Service earmarks these funds for individuals and families who are less fortunate than others. As funds are limited, our resources are reserved for those who are truly in need; those who would have tremendous difficulty celebrating Passover without our support.

Eligible individuals and families receive a gift card to a supermarket that is convenient to their home. Funds are also distributed to communal seders, such as the AIDS Seder and the community seder at the Kosher Mealsite at Temple Toral Yisrael.

If you feel that your family is in need of some assistance in celebrating Passover this year, or if you know of a family in need, please contact your rabbi or JFS. If you are interested in making a monetary or food donation, please call JFS or click here to make a donation.
