OUR MISSION
Making a Difference in the Lives of Cleveland’s Jewish Community
Through humanitarian aid, partnerships with Jewish agencies, and collaboration with Christian churches, we provide help, educate on blessing the Jewish community, teach prayer for Israel and local Jews, and work to heal historical wounds. Our volunteers bring this mission to life by delivering kosher food and essentials to those who need it most.
Hope in Action for the Jewish Community
We provide vital support to the Jewish community—food, shelter, medical care, and family services—through partnerships with local agencies and churches. By meeting tangible needs, we build trust, strengthen communities, and bring hope where it’s needed most.
