The members of the Bikur Cholim committee are the "caregivers" for every member of the Ansche Chesed community. We visit members who are sick or hospitalized, telephone them, send them cards. We provide meals, especially for Shabbat, go shopping and take people to doctors' appointments.
If you would like to participate in this mitzvah, or if you know of any Ansche Chesed member who is ill or hospitalized, please contact Bettyrose Nelson at bettyrose.nelson@gmail.com or Joyce Mann at joycemann2@gmail.com
