Your donations help fill as much as 40% of our pantry inventory for the new year and ensure more than 2,500 Jewish individuals and families across Chicagoland have access to kosher groceries and household supplies.
The Ark helps Chicagoland Jews facing adversity navigate toward self-reliance. Ark professionals, volunteers, and donors provide free, comprehensive services within a framework of Jewish values and laws.

Simon,
a former small business owner
