Officials often need ​personnel, and personnel need resources. Our effort helps bring them all together, as quickly and efficiently as possible. Our colleagues on the ground speak the language, know the terrain, and have what it takes to help their communities and volunteers who often join them, get life back to normal quickly and energetically.

Social service initiatives of Chabad-Lubavitch affiliates also run the gamut, from counseling, crisis intervention, and drug rehabilitation, to food and job banks, community assistance efforts and immigrant resettlement programs. Chabad-Lubavitch has developed very successful chaplaincy programs, across the nation and around the world, reaching out to Jewish men and women in the Armed Forces, hospitals and prisons, and providing crucial assistance to their families who are often so alone and desperate.
