Chabad of Venice
Social Services

No one is alone here.

A friendly visit when the days feel long. Fresh challah and a warm Shabbat meal at the door. Groceries when the month runs short. Chabad's care programs are confidential, free, and open to everyone — and asking is a mitzvah, not an imposition.

Friendly visits

A Smile on Seniors volunteer stops by for company — weekly, monthly, or when it's needed. In homes, assisted living, or the hospital.

🍞
Challah & Shabbat meals

Loaves of Love delivers fresh challah, chicken soup, and warm meals to seniors, mourners, the unwell, and the homebound.

🛒
Food bank & groceries

Nutritious kosher food for any individual or family in need — no questions about background, no charge, ever.

🕎
Holiday visits

Shofar at the bedside, a menorah and latkes, mishloach manot — the holidays come to you when you can't come to them.

  • Completely confidential — only the people arranging your care will know
  • Always free — these programs are the community taking care of its own
  • For anyone — year-round residents, snowbirds, members and not-yet-members alike
