WE'RE HERE
FOR YOU!

Welcome the Chaverim of Houston, where we are dedicated and committed to all the emergency assistance (non-medical) needed in our community.

Mission Statement

Chaverim of Houston’s mission is to assist anyone, wherever there is a non-medical need, in whatever way possible in a completely altruistic manner. Chaverim is here to help save both time and money while at the same time helping to maintain and create a safe, happy, stress free environment for all.

Our Story

Houston's chapter of Chaverim was founded in early 2021 by a few individuals who wanted to give to the community in a unique way. Since launching we have grown to over two dozen well equipped volunteers who strive to help.

In 2022 Chaverim plans to expand its services to provide generators for power outages, and we hope to add more important services for our community.

Chaverim has a board of directors who can be contacted here, and is endorsed by the leading Rabbis of Houston.

Chaverim’s team of over 20 trained volunteers is available 24 hours a day. Directed professionally by Chaverim’s dispatchers utilizing the most sophisticated dispatching system available, Chaverim is able to ensure that each call is handled in a timely, professional manner.
