Our application process is both simple and discrete. Applicants are asked to fill out our application and submit it to the Rabbi of their congregation. Only one member of our vetting team, in addition to their Rabbi, have access to all personally-identifying information in an application, so as to allow Tomchei Shabbos to verify that information. Once information is an application has been vetted and an application has been approved, beneficiaries are notified by the KC Kosher Co-op that a credit is available for their use.  Beneficiaries are asked to open an account with the KC Kosher Co-op.

6. Receive and Use Credit: Once an applicant has been accepted and funds are available, the applicant will receive a notice from the KC Kosher Co-Op on a monthly basis as to what their credit for the month is. This credit is available for use on the KC Kosher Co-Op website only. If a beneficiary does not use their credit during a particular month, the credit will continue to be available for use in subsequent months, however, unused credits may expire if not used within 6 months of their issuance.

 

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

 

• Approval to receive Tomchei Shabbos funds is NOT a guarantee that you will receive funds in any particular month or that the amount you receive from month to month will be the same.

​

• Any balance due to the KC Kosher Co-op after application of the Tomchei Shabbos provided credit must be paid promptly.  Unused credits roll over to the next KC Kosher Co-op order.  Future distributions cannot be used to pay any balance due on a prior order.  Failure to pay an outstanding KC Kosher Co-op balance may result in denial of future distributions.
   

• In order to grant beneficiaries their credits, KC Kosher Co-Op will necessarily have access to the names of beneficiaries. KC Kosher Co-Op will not have access to any other information in applications and is not involved in the allocation of funds between Tomchei Shabbos beneficiaries. KC Kosher Co-Op simply emails beneficiaries with credits in the amounts instructed by Tomchei Shabbos. If you have any questions about the amount of a credit (other than a technical issue relating to how to use of credits) please DO NOT contact KC Kosher Co-Op. Please contact Tomchei Shabbos instead.
