Believe it or not, there are families that do not have money to pay for their own Seudas Purim! These people are your neighbors and you dont even know! Many of these families struggle with their daily bills, and cant make ends meet. They have all had their share of electric and gas shut-offs, owing money to their grocery, tuitions, medical bills and other pressing issues.
There is no greater Mitzvah then making poor people happy on Purim.
While many of us continuously donate to causes in Eretz Yisroel, many times the poor are suffering in our own backyards. The Halacha is clear:Aniyei Ircha come first.
PLEASE open your hearts and donate generously.
Money will be distributed by HaRav Elya Brudny and other Rabbonim

I was surprised that people were still collecting money in shul at 2:30pm under the guise of matonos levyonim. Like with so many other practices, this matonos levyonim has gotten out of hand. Who is distributing money to evyonim at 4pm ? Where are these evyonim first going at 4pm with the tzedakah funds to get the seudas Purim set up? This matonos levyonim needs to be regulated.
