Passover 2017 was celebrated by approximately 15,000 people who would not have had the means nor the ability to observe this traditional holiday without YOU and your volunteer efforts/monetary donations! Maot Chitim volunteers remember this year’s Passover as time of unity and camaraderie; we joined together to serve others. Maot Chitim of Greater Chicago encourages volunteering for the holidays as a way of sharing the blessings we have experienced, particularly the blessing of being able to worship, our way, with dignity during our holy days.

If you have served as a warehouse package packer, a delivery driver, or helped in any way, we value you! We also work closely with social service agencies (The Ark, Chai Lifeline, Shalva, Ezra, Lutheran Social Services, Council for Jewish Elderly, and Catholic Charities). They can provide us with referrals for individuals/families who would benefit from a holiday food package or a community meal.

Celebrating 100 Years of Volunteering

Giving is most blessed and most acceptable when the donor
remains completely anonymous.-Rabbi Moses ben Maimon

While we’re giving thanks, please be sure to patronize our generous Maot Chitim sponsors:
