Rockland Chessed Network Represents Growing need in an Expanding Community

Rockland Chessed Network Represents Growing need in an Expanding Community

By: Yitzy Fried 

Tomche Shabbos of Rockland County is synonymous with chessed, and is perhaps the oldest chessed organization in this community. Since its founding over 30 years ago, it has never missed a week in delivering food to the needy. 

As the community has expanded so exponentially, so has the volume and the type of needs. 

Over the years, the organization has expanded to job placement, assistance with utility bills, job training, and other forms of assistance—and now, the organization is bringing all of these services under one umbrella organization to better serve its constituents. 

“We are so excited to finally roll out Rockland Chesed Network to the community,” says Avi Goldstein, Director of Development. “RCN will give us an infrastructure for all these services—and it will enable us to continue growing to support the growing community.”

RCN sees in this expansion much opportunity for even more growth and energy. “There’s an entire new generation of Monsey residents with incredible capabilities and fresh ideas that can benefit the community. Through the Rockland Chessed Network, we are providing the framework for those ideas to be implemented and the resources to help them succeed,” he said. 

With Shavuos around the corner, RCN’s summer fundraiser comes right after that, and they are relying on the community once again for their support. Alan Rosenstock, Tomche Shabbos’ president and one of its founders, shares his long-term perspective: “In the past 30 years, I’ve seen the community step up time and time again—and it never gets old. I am continually amazed by witnessing just how much our volunteers and donors give of themselves to help the klal.”
