"Let all who are hungry come and eat." We say this at Passover every year. But this year, these words hold extra meaning: The COVID-19 pandemic has made it more difficult than ever for homebound seniors, those who are sick, and those who are food insecure to stock their cupboards - let alone keep kosher for Passover or prepare Seder meals. 

That's where the   Jewish Hartford Rapid Relief and Recovery Fund  comes in:
Thanks to your generous contributions, today we delivered freshly made and frozen meals and a bag of groceries - all kosher for Passover - to 125 households across Greater Hartford. Each of these households will continue to receive weekly, no-contact kosher food deliveries to their doorsteps - and we know that the number will increase as COVID-19 continues to impact our health and our economy.

"I am so appreciative of all that you are doing for me and so many others in this community. It truly is going above the call of duty." - A grateful recipient

If you have already contributed to the Fund, thank you! If you haven't, we hope that you'll consider a gift to the Fund, in addition to the generous support you already provide to so many of our local Jewish organizations. Your donation will help us ensure that all who are hungry can come and eat - at Passover and for months to come.


To contribute via check, mail your gift to:
