Mr. Jack Friedman was a very prominent figure in the Community and was well known as a tremendous Baal Chesed worldwide who gave a lot of Charity and was dedicated to Chesed, pure acts of kindness. His family felt that the best way to Honor his namesake would be to dedicate an organization based on true Chesed, in his memory.
Chaverim of Queens, in memory of Jack Friedman is living up to its namesake by providing services 24 hours a day, 6 days a week, by volunteers who are dedicated to the organization and what its stands for….Chesed!
Members are dispatched day and night, rain, sun or snow, summer and winter, via e-mail or text which generates from our dispatch center.
Every person that we help also receives an envelope with a survey letter inside. With this survey, a caller can let us know how we assisted them, which volunteer(s) responded to their call and how they were treated by the volunteer. This allows us to keep the lines of communication open between the organization and the individuals in the community. Many surveys, when mailed back to us include a donation and nice “Thank You” letters. The donations help us to cover our costs, and the compliments we receive are passed on to the volunteers which strengthens them and keeps their drive and ambition alive to continue providing the chesed they do on a regular basis.
Some of the “extra” programs that Chaverim of Queens has taken on over the past few years includes:
Pre-Winter free car checkup
Purim “Don’t drink and Drive” program
Assisting with local searches for missing persons when requested
