The Need
Over 40 million Americans live below the poverty line, and struggle to meet their basic needs every day. When unexpected emergencies arise, our neighbors who struggle to make ends are thrown into crisis such as hunger & food insecurity, massive medical debt, and even homelessness.
What Can You Do to Help?
FOCUS partners with Orthodox Communities across the US to serve families in need – especially during the holidays. Your donation of money and supplies will provide basic needs like food and hygiene items for people who need them, no questions asked.
