In 2020, Tzur donors saved thousands of deserving families from financial distress with millions in direct relief
Why We Exist
Families struggling to stay afloat deserve dignified help before they drown and need to be rescued.
How We Help
Not every need is an obvious need. Not everyone will ask for the help they deserve.
Who We Are
Tzur channels the generosity of Baalei Tzedaka to help those in need who are often least likely to seek help.
Where there’s a need, there’s a way
“Thank you for giving us help with a gift card. It felt great to shop and choose what we want to wear.”
