Hi! I have a non jewish friend who's going through a really hard time right now and is unable to afford food. They don't live in the same city as me so I can't help personally, but I was thinking of pointing them towards the local bikur cholim organization so they can get something to eat at least once a week. Would that be appropriate?

AYLOR. There are enough nonJewish orgs providing non kosher food not to have to divert kosher food to someone who doesn't need kosher. You just don't happen to know about them.

Every city has soup kitchens, meals from churches etc.. Google those in her city I think that’s more appropriate.

Maybe meals on wheels can help her. If she lives in Brooklyn she can contact Masbia

not the right thing to do. why don’t u help her by finding her the resources available to her in her community. there are local pantries and soup kitchens everywhere. you just don’t know about them bec u keep kosher and because u are not from her city. do some digging. if you give us her location maybe some other people on here can help you dig around but def don’t send where she doesn’t belong.
