On Purim, giving Matanot L’evyonim, literally gifts to the poor, is one of the major mitzvoth of the holiday, aside from feasting and costume parties. With your donation, Schoke JFS will distribute assistance to families on Purim day.

This year, with your help, we will:

• Provide a widowed mom of three children under ten with access to activities to help her children make friends and exercise
• Pay medical bills for a family of five while we help the father apply for disability after a sudden stroke left him unable to work or collect unemployment
• Help a young family clean, declutter and organize their home ahead of the arrival of their new baby
• Help a Holocaust survivor’s family afford their mother’s funeral so she can be buried and memorialized with dignity

Beyond covering rent and utility bills, we’ve been able to:

• Assist a Holocaust Survivor couple in relocating after their landlord refused to renew their lease
• Help a senior afford a much-needed root canal beyond what insurance covers
• Provide a disabled community member with a mobility aid and medical alert system to enhance their safety and independence
