Home/What We Do

From a small snack to a full Shabbos.

Our Division for Kosher Rooms keeps the Kosher rooms of most New York City hospitals, plus hospitals and mental health centers across New York, stocked with food.

Grab-and-go · hot & cold

Everything from small snacks to full meals.

The Kosher room in each hospital is stocked with food that is ready when a patient or a family member needs it.

Dairy goods, blintzes and eggplant parmigiana sit beside all kinds of hot and cold dishes, ready to take and eat. It is there every day, for anyone sitting through a long night in the hospital.

Yom Tov meals & necessities

Beautiful Yom Tov meals, together with the necessities that each Yom Tov calls for.

Out-of-state patients

A home away from home.

When a patient comes to New York for treatment, we look after the whole family.

We provide everything needed for their stay: an apartment, food, laundry and whatever else the family requires while they are here. Often that includes clothing and tuition for the children as well.
