Chesed

🐝 Bee Kind  —  The Devora Chesed Fund🐝 

During the Covid-19 Pandemic JYN – Jewish Youth Network has assembled a team of volunteers to assist and support those in need.
While Thank G-d things are a lot better now, we are continuing this most beautiful initiative to help those less fortunate in the community, especially around the holidays.

JYN Chesed is established as a program for our youth to experience fundraising, packaging, volunteering, and to experience doing Chesed in the community.

We are not set up as a food bank or as an organization to provide consistent assistance to those in need. Therefore we ask those requesting assistance through the JYN Chesed program to keep your requests to 3-4 times a year.

JYN distributes direct assistance to families and individuals in need locally. This assistance has been provided through grocery gift cards, gas cards, basic food items, Matzah for Passover, and financial support. While we receive requests throughout the year, there is an exceptionally high volume of requests ahead of Jewish holidays such as Passover and Rosh Hashanah.

We are incredibly excited to announce that our Chesed Fund will be renamed the “🐝 Bee Kind — The Devora Chesed Fund,” along with a commitment from the generous donors who endowed 🐝 Bee Kind — The Devora Chesed Fund to double all donations received yearly towards our Chesed/kindness initiative to help those in need.

As in past years, our teen ambassadors have launched our annual pre-Passover match fundraiser jynmatch.com to kick-start fundraising for the coming year.

The Midrash states that just like Bees are busy collecting for their Queen, Jews are busy doing Mitzvot for G-d.

In general, we do our fundraising and distribution around Holiday times. We will try to connect you with the appropriate community organizations if you require ongoing assistance.

Prayers: If you are unwell and would like us to pray for you. We will be glad to do that.

Critical errands: If you are homebound and need help with critical errands, let us know. We will do our best to help.

Financial Help: We know that many families are struggling and unemployment is making daily grocery shopping and rent difficult, especially as we head into The Upcoming Jewish Holidays. JYN is happy to announce that through the generosity of donors to our annual match-a-thon (jynmatch.com), we have Gift Cards available for families in need. We hope that more generous donors will come forward, and we can increase this number as needed.
