[DONATION LINK] TLS is pleased to announce that we are once again hosting a 2-week Web-a-Thon fundraiser for the community-based organization, Tomchei Shabbos.
With Pesach around the corner, we are reaching out to our dedicated readers to assist us in helping this extremely worthy organization in Lakewood.
As we all know, the astronomical costs of making Pesach can break the budget, even for many hard working breadwinners who manage to get by on their own year-round.
With its finger on the pulse of Lakewood, The Lakewood Scoop strongly identifies with the pain and suffering of so many heads of households in the community, who have either lost their jobs, taken a severe pay cut or are reeling from other financial setbacks as a result of the spiraling economy.
We have therefore undertaken to host the two-week Web-a-Thon fundraiser, from now through Pesach, on behalf of Kupas Kimcha D’Pischa– Lakewood’s largest and most encompassing Pesach distribution fund administered by Tomchei Shabbos.
Visitors to TLS are able to pledge or donate directly from our Web-a-Thon portal, 24 hours a day. (A fundraising thermometer will soon be available on our home page, keeping all our visitors informed of the Web-a-Thon progress).
In addition to their regular sponsorship options, Kupas Kimcha D’Pischa is introducing a new Sponsor-a-Seder program, which provides donors of $136 and above, the opportunity to underwrite a family’s entire Pesach Seder.
The first 5 Sedorim, were sponsored by TLS.
Kupas Kimcha D’Pischa provides some 500 families in our community with all Yom Tov food essentials, from wine and matzoh to fish, meat, poultry, potatoes, produce, canned goods and more. The size and scope of the Pesach distribution effectively makes Kupas Kimcha D’Pischa an organization onto itself, with its own staggering, half-million dollar budget.
Kupas Kimcha D’Pischa is 501(c)3 tax-deductible charity.

If you wish to donate via check, you can do so by sending a check payable to ‘Kimcha D’pischa Fund’ to 212 2nd Street, Suite 403, Lakewood NJ 08701. Or, you can call in to 732-367-4323.
Thank you.

Every year I’m amazed @ the work of this holy organization. Kudos to TLS for realizing the importance and being at the forefront. Special mention to Rabbi Trainer for his indefatigable leadership in ensuring every child in Lakewood has what he needs for the meals on Pesach.
I could never finish singing the praises of the wonderful selfless souls who are involved in every facet of tomchei shabbos. Who can fathom how much they protect our town by being our shlichim, by being the kupah of our town and community! Tomchei shabbos isn’t them, it is us, our personal representative, ish lirei’eihu to our brothers and sister who need our help, tomchei is there for them and we have to be there for tomchei.
