Your Support

The number of Jewish families here in the Chicago area that can no longer support themselves is growing. And the funds to assist them are getting scarcer - especially with today’s rapidly rising cost of living. Your tax-deductible donation, at any level, can help families get back on their feet again. So please, give as generously as possible, today by filling out the form below.

There are several ways you can donate:

Make a credit card donation

Click the yellow "Donate" button at the top right, or below, to make your credit card donation via PayPal to the Chicago Chesed Fund. (You will be redirected to PayPal to enter your payment information securely.) It’s a fast and convenient way to sponsor our important programs. And if you’d like, you can make your gift in honor or in memory of someone special.

Donate clothing

If you have new or lightly worn clothing you aren’t using, please give them to your community members who currently aren’t able to buy clothes, Please drop off clothing at 8620 Hamlin Avenue, Skokie, Sundays through Wednesdays.

Donate food

Individual food donations, corporate donations and school or community food drives are deeply appreciated. Please call 847.679.7799 for delivery information.

Donate furniture, appliances or exercise equipment

Whether it’s furniture for the living room, dining room, bedroom or large kitchen and laundry appliances—anything you donate will make a great difference to your neighbors in need. Please call 847.679.7799 for delivery information.

Donate your car

Donating your car to the Chicago Chesed Fund is easy. If it’s running or repairable, we’ll give it to a family with no means of their own to buy a car. If not, the proceeds of the sale will be put to great use—helping families in temporary crisis get back to self-sufficiency. Either way, your car donation is tax deductible. To find out more about the fair market value the IRS allows you to claim, please call us at 847.679.7799 x 128.
