The United Jewish Council of the Lower East Side:
With families fraying, spread out, or non-existent, a substantial portion of long-time residents of the Lower East Side don’t have family they can count on for the help they need. UJC fills that gap with services such as home health care, and senior services.
UJC provides the essential services that seniors and others rely on — housing, meals, social services, and friendship — that make life-changing differences for so many. We work tirelessly day after day to provide a safety net for those who have none.

Volunteers are needed to help with the Food Pantry, serve lunch during the week and deliver meals to homebound seniors. We welcome ideas for new classes and trips for our seniors and if you would like to share your skills or interests by teaching a class.
Or, if you’d like to lend a helping hand for one of our parties, let us know. We’d love to hear from you.
Our food pantry operates on Fridays, from 9:00 AM until 12 PM. Please bring photo identification on each visit.
