Thanks for your interest in Tomchei Shabbos of Queens! If our paths lead in the same direction, this visit will be the first of many.

 Our Mission

To serve as "middlemen" between the hungry & those willing to share.

To do so on an all-volunteer basis.     

To spend at least 90 cents of each donated dollar on food for distribution.

____________________________________________________________________

What do we do ?

For more than twenty five years, TSQ has provided food packages on a weekly basis to needy families & individuals throughout Queens, NY. A pilot project is underway  to expand the service into Long Island. Presently, approximately 350 packages are delivered weekly.

Who are the recipients ?

The scope of recipients varies widely.  She may be a woman with children whose husband has left...or an elderly couple on a very limited pension...a family whose breadwinner has suddenly lost his or her job...families where illness saps the resources...and other cases of despair. The common denominator is need.

Who refers our recipients ?

...Local clergy who come in close contact with problem cases.

...School principals and teachers who see children come to school without breakfast.

 ...Social workers who deal with human needs on a daily basis.

 Who are we ?

We are all volunteers.  We are working people with families of our own. We are single and starting out in life. We are students. Some of us are retired from our jobs  & professions. We all share in the care of our " extended family "-those among us who are in need.

How is this funded ?

We're glad you asked! Over ninety five percent of our funding is through the generosity of individuals and firms who wish to see direct positive results for their contributions within their community.

No salaries-----minimal operating overhead-----we purchase over 95% of the food products distributed.   IRS (501)(c)(3) approved
