Meeting the needs of people in crisis
The Problem
Without daily necessities like shoes, clothing that fits, toiletries, diapers, baby gear, and school supplies, people cannot actively participate in daily life. Seeking employment, attending medical appointments, and succeeding in school all become insurmountable when critical needs are not met.
Our Model
We are committed to serving the entire family because we know that if the child doesn’t have clothes and shoes, then the parents don’t either. We believe that every person matters. Parents need their basic needs met in order to go to work, just as children need essentials to go to school or attend daycare. We build relationships with the people we serve by working closely with them to understand the barriers they face and their individual needs.
Our Solution
Mitzvah Circle is the only organization in our area that meets the material needs of entire families by providing immediate relief and a chance for families to get back on their feet. We serve people without barriers or bureaucracy, filling a huge, unmet need, providing swift delivery of goods, personalized by individual needs because we know one size doesn’t fit all.
