Empowering Families with Dignity and Choice

Founded in 2008, Project Machal embarked on a mission to revolutionize the concept of food assistance. Recognizing the importance of dignity and personal preference in food selection, we introduced a unique approach to supporting families in need. At Project Machal, we don't just distribute food; we provide families with a weekly food credit at their local grocery stores. This empowers them to purchase the food they need and prefer, offering them the dignity of choice often missing in traditional food pantry models.

Our initiative thrives on the principle that helping should not just be about providing but about empowering. We believe that everyone deserves the freedom to choose, especially when it comes to something as personal and essential as food. By allowing families to select their own groceries, we not only address their nutritional needs but also respect their individual preferences and dietary requirements.

In Partnership with JCC Marine Park

Strengthening Communities Together

Project Machal is proud to work in partnership with the Jewish Community Council of Marine Park (JCCMP), a cornerstone of social services within the Marine Park community and its surrounding neighborhoods. JCCMP's commitment to improving lives aligns seamlessly with our goals at Project Machal.

JCCMP is renowned for its comprehensive approach to community assistance, offering a wide range of programs and services. From providing financial aid and food to organizing social activities for teens, JCCMP is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for every individual in the community. Their efforts in advocacy and direct assistance play a crucial role in addressing both immediate and long-term needs.

This collaboration between Project Machal and JCCMP represents a powerful alliance, combining resources and expertise to offer more effective and compassionate support to families in need. Together, we are committed to not just meeting basic needs but also uplifting and empowering our community members, ensuring they lead lives of dignity and fulfillment.
