Vaad Hatzedakos green card

Tzedakah runs on trust — and Agudah is here to establish and verify that trust.

When a fundraiser or collector comes to Chicago for funds, their first step is to provide Agudah with references and details of their case. Agudah investigates, verifies and certifies the collector with a “Vaad Hatzedakos green card” so you know you’re giving to a real need, and a good cause.

Agudah partnered with schools & kollelim to develop a uniquely affordable and honorable fund to provide financial security for rebbeim, moros, and kollel members. Membership is just $14/month for an assurance of $150/month per unmarried child if, G-d forbid, the policy should be needed.

On the first and last Sunday each month, you can drop off your shaimos and know it’s being treated properly. Simply buy a box for $18, fill it up, and drop it off. We’ll take care of the rest. 
Not sure if something is shaimos? Check here first.

Scholarships available for families that qualify. 

Under the direction of Rabbi Shmuel Fuerst, the Midwest Bais Hora'ah is available to answer your shailos anytime. Call 773-539-4141to get in touch with a rav who can answer your shailah — and get a clear, definitive answer straight away.

2024 Update: Agudah is actively working to get this program funded and running again, so that our children can eat well, learn well and grow every day.
