Chesed of Lakewood: Although summer just left us and the school year is still very new, Chesed of Lakewood has been inundated with requests for the Sukkah Exchange program. The ‘Sukkah Exchange,’ an annual project of Chesed of Lakewood, pairs sukkahs donated by families who no longer need them with families who do. Building a sukkah is a significant investment in money, time and energy, and for some families fulfillment of this mitzvah is difficult to come by.
Last year’s response to the Sukkah Exchange was overwhelming, a tribute to the tremendous spirit of chesed prevalent within the frum community. Donors were grateful to know that their sukkahs would be used on Yom Tov, filled with simchah and kedushah by beautiful yiddeshe families. When purchasing a new sukkah or going away for yom tov, families were able to put their sukkah to good use by simply contacting Chesed of Lakewood’s Sukkah Exchange. COL is proud to say that every single sukkah donated in previous years was put to use, some of them built by the hardiest Chesed of Lakewood volunteers themselves.
With Yom Tov season upon us, the search for sukkahs is in full swing and the list of families in need is long. Chesed of Lakewood is therefore reaching out to the greater frum community, asking anyone with an unused sukkah to simply contact Chesed of Lakewood for an easy pick-up and a tremendous mitzvah!
To partner with this incredible organization by donating sukkahs please contact the Chesed of Lakewood hotline at 732.901.0482, ext. 4 for the ‘Sukkah Exchange’, or email [email protected].
