What we've accomplished with your help:

Colel Chabad is never content to rest on its laurels. We are always on the lookout for gaps that need to be filled in the provision of social services to the needy -- both needy individuals and needy communities. No other organization in Israel offers as broad and deep a grid of programs and projects to improve the quality of life in Israel by helping its neediest.

What is still left to do:

There is so much yet that needs to be done. Poverty will always be part of life. There will always be children in need, mothers who cannot manage, sick people who need proper care, communities that have been forgotten. Colel Chabad is limited only by the funds that are made available by caring people all over the world. The more you can help, the more we can do.
