Our story
Eight years ago, around a dining-room table.
Our first meeting was held on the fast of the 10th of Tevet — a bunch of women digging into a vision that stands today as a deep well in the heart of our community.
It is there in our building where we, the women, meet daily to draw wisdom like water from a well. With your continued donations, “our well” is replenished daily.
Dedicated in loving memory of the Sassoon children

Well Fed × SBH Food Division
A kitchen that doesn't sleep.
Last season our soup kitchen served 5,424 meals and went through 1,333 lbs of meat, poultry, and fish — all cooked by 37 dedicated women each week.
Each sponsorship is $1,800 and covers a full day of meals. Dedicate it in honor or in loving memory.
A student
“How did we ever live without this? I can't imagine not having this in my life. Something is always cooking on the stove and in the ovens, such a cozy feeling.”
“If you don't see God's hand in everything, you won't see it in anything.”
Help us replenish the well.
Every gift fills the next class, the next meal, the next visit to a survivor's door.
