GIVE A LITTLE TIME
MAKE A BIG IMPACT
Maot Chitim unites the entire Jewish community in providing mitzvah opportunities and experiences.
PASSOVER
Let’s come together as a community and spread the spirit of giving this season.
Rosh Hashanah is our next Delivery Day, and we’re reaching out to ask for your support. Your contribution, no matter how big or small, can make a huge difference.
ROSH HASHANAH
Together, we can ensure that everyone has access to challah, wine, and other traditional Rosh Hashanah foods.
We provide enough food to meet the needs of over 16,000 individuals.
We do so with the help of over 1,200 volunteers who work to pack and deliver boxes for both Passover and Rosh Hashanah.
We need your assistance.
Help support our programs by packaging food, delivering boxes, donating or referring a family in need. These opportunities will fill your heart while you fulfill someone’s need for food.
Register if you or someone you know is in need of a package.
Since 1908, Maot Chitim of Greater Chicago has enabled thousands of Jewish people in need to celebrate the Jewish holidays in a traditional and dignified manner.

We’ve Been Busy!
Early June 2024, we celebrated Holocaust Survivor Day at the Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center with CJE SeniorLife Holocaust Community Services. The event featured a beautiful performance by Violins of Hope, sponsored by JCCs of Chicago. It was an honor to host this special day for our survivor community in Chicago, who continue to inspire us with their grace and resilience. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook!
You make a difference by providing food.
You are making the world better, kinder, brighter. Every dollar you give will help to feed an individual in the Jewish community who is in need.

Volunteer Today
We could use your help. Fill your heart while you fulfill someone’s need for food.
PEOPLE
helping people
A new event is around the corner. The past few years have been very difficult for everyone. We need your help to bring food to those families and individuals that are struggling with food insecurity during the holidays. There is nothing more rewarding than helping others. We invite you and your family to deliver food to Holocaust survivors, senior citizens, and families who wish to celebrate the holidays with dignity.
