Shabbos in a Box Campaign 2023

Shabbos in a Box is one of Chesed 24/7’s most meaningful annual projects, a 9-day community effort where women and girls gather to assemble thousands of beautifully packaged Shabbos boxes for cholim in hospitals. Each sponsored box becomes a lifeline of warmth and connection. With your $36 sponsorship, these boxes reach patients and their families during their most difficult moments, bringing light, comfort, and the feeling of Shabbos into hospital rooms across the region.

Quilt-style collage showing illustrations of volunteers uniting, packing Shabbos boxes, knotting blankets, warming cholim, and offering chesed, with the text ‘Thank You – In the patchwork quilt of chesed, YOU are a vital square.
