Established in 1986, the Tal Chaim Center for Community Assistance and Immigrant Absorption aims to help those in economic and social distress. Tal Chaim distributes food parcels to needy families Petah Tikva. Before the Jewish Holidays, it distributes a larger amount of food parcels to Petah Tikva and the surrounding cities. Tal Chaim also provides footwear and clothing, household furniture and appliance, legal aid, a big brother/sister project, a fund for loans before the High Holidays and for special cases, a student loans fund, and guides for people when talking to the Authorities. In addition, Ta Chaim helps run a manufacturing project aimed at producing commodities for holidays and other events and academic assistance for children in the form of lessons plans, guidance, and supervision.
