KOSHER MEALS ON WHEELS of greater Buffalo is a community lifeline that provides meals to homebound seniors and disabled members of our Jewish community throughout Erie County, providing nutritionally balanced meals each week.  Volunteers deliver more than 10,000 delicious and nutritious meals each year enabling isolated seniors to maintain their dignity and independence while living in their homes. Volunteers deliver the meals while providing a meaningful social interaction with recipients.

HOSPITAL VISITATION On a regular basis, Rabbi Laizer Labkovski, visits Jewish patients in local hospitals. A card and words of hope and encouragement can go a long way in alleviating some of the emotional hardships that accompany illness.

The kit consists of a small bottle of Grape Juice for Kiddush, a delicious homemade challah, two candles and information about the Shabbat. The CJL is asking for additional sponsors so that this program can reach every Jewish resident in every Senior citizen home, hospital or homebound senior.
