Hi.

I am finally gathering the courage to go and ask for financial help.

1. Can anyone tell me how to sign up for tomchei shabbos in boro park?

2. Are there any other organizations to help with groceries? What info do I need to give them.

3. Does any other organization exist that can help me financially?

Thank you!!!

There is masbia in borh boro park and flatbush you cqn sign up. Make an appointment weekly and go do a shopping from what they have.
Metcouncil also has a food pantry their website may say not accepting new clients but if you call or go in person and tell them your situation they will probably help you. You make a monthly order online and go in to pick up

Masbia doesn’t give much and I’m not sure if they give every week.
