For over 45 years, CSSY has been the first port of call for many in the Crown Heights Community. What started from the Rebbe’s request to provide funds to help with the expenses of Tishrei has turned into an organization that is there for Crown Heights 365 days a year.
From weekly food vouchers to assistance with Yom Tov, to back to school backpacks and Chanukah gelt, CSSY is there. Respectfully, quietly, without a lot of fanfare or overhead expenses. But today, it’s about so much more than just food. When someone in the community passes away, and there is no money for the funeral, CSSY ensures that a meis mitzvah is buried with dignity.
When a family is in crisis and needs mental health treatment in the tens of thousands of dollars, CSSY pays the bills, ensuring that a young father can recover and return to his family. When teens are battling demons and parents don’t know where to turn, CSSY provides guidance and financial support to cover the desperately needed treatment.
With the rising mental health crisis in the community, along with the astronomical costs of food that are rising daily, CSSY receives calls every day asking for help.
CSSY cannot turn anyone away and are running their first every Chanuka fundraising campaign to raise $360,000 for the needs of the Crown Heights community.
This Chanukah, CSSY is asking you to be the Chanukah miracle for someone else.
Your generous support will put food in the fridge and provide treatment and support for those in our community who desperately need our help.
CSSY thanks the hundreds who have already given and are grateful for the continual support of so many.

It seems we are always fundraising for something.

Why dont we together with askanim start doing something with the food industry.
Prices have gone up for the middle class aswell.
Were too financially ok to ask for help because we just make ends meet.
