Helping the sick is one of the most important Jewish values!

We know that for many of our students it is their first time away from home and not having your parents to care for you when you need them most can be scary. We also know that this grief is felt by parents as well. Believing that Hillel should be and is a home away from home, we’ve begun sending out care packages for sick students. Whether you’re the sick student, it’s your roommate, your child, a friend, family member, or someone else we’ll deliver it to you as soon as possible free of charge. Just submit the form below.

Care-package includes:

matzah ball soup, tissues, hand sanitizer, health information and tips from Towson University Health and Wellness, and of course a personalized get well card.
