VIDEO & PHOTOS: By Pesach, the Tomchei Shabbos organization will have distributed over a half million dollars worth of food and Pesach necessities to nearly 600 needy families in Lakewood for the upcoming Pesach.
And unfortunately, as each year goes by, so does the number of needy.
Each year, dozens more families are added to the list. To date, Tomchei Shabbos is supporting 580 families, 64 more than last year, the organization says.
Dozens of volunteers are involved in the massive round-the-clock operation, which is taking place in the Blue Claws stadium.

Wow! מי כעמך ישראל! it is so great seeing a chesed organazation in action. And better yet, all the Bocheriem who took their bain Hazmanim to make a difference for another. יה”ר שהקב”ה יתברך כל העוסקים בצרכי ציבור בשפע ברכה והצלחה.
Is this taking away from the store’s profits also ??
Wait for the complainers to start . . .5 . 4 . 3 . 2 . .
Wow! Mi K’Amcha Yisroel!! (#1, I thought of these words before I saw your post!) And I’m sure anyone looking at these pictures will have the same feelings! I’m sure Hashem is shepping nachas seeing the outpouring of chessed taking place in Klal Yisroel!
Per seder so lets say 80k × 2 = 160k plus other meals were talking max 250k
מי כעמך ישראל WOW NOW THIS IS THE WAY IT SUPPOSED TO BE
MAY THE LIST GET SMALL NEXT YEAR IN JERUSALEM
Hey WOW, show me all the math not “so let’s say”
#4:
The seder is ONE MEAL (okay, two), much less than half of a family’s needs for the chag.
