Lancaster Bikur Cholim

The Lancaster Bikur Cholim is a community-led initiative dedicated to supporting Jewish patients and their families in hospitals around Lancaster. We provide a well-stocked pantry with kosher perishables and nonperishables and other food essentials.

In addition to food, the pantry includes siddurim, reading materials, and assorted Judaica items. Whether someone is spending a few hours or several days at the hospital, our goal is to ease the experience and ensure that no one feels alone or unprepared during times of need.

The Bikur Cholim pantry is a new association and is not yet operating in any hospitals in the Lancaster area; please reach out to the Bikur Cholim administrator (Eliyahu Dowek - 223.221.8003) for assistance or with any questions.
