If not me, who? 

If not now, when?

The Beginning

Show up where and
when we’re needed. 

Tantzers began over a decade ago with this simple instinct.
We showed up in hospital rooms, at events, and in moments when families were carrying more than they should have to carry alone. What started as bringing joy to painful moments quickly became something deeper and wider.

Families needed more than just a visit.

They needed people who care, who go the extra mile and give them the strength to make it through their most challenging times.

The Growth

We realized that illness affects more than the patient.

It affects the entire household.

As we grew, we began to see ways we could do more. We asked ourselves what does this family need right now? A ride. A meal. A distraction. Someone to take the kids for a few hours. A night out for parents who haven’t exhaled in weeks.
Parents stop sleeping. Siblings pretend to be fine. But wonder why mommy hasn’t cooked for Shabbos in three months.

Life becomes about running from one appointment and treatment to another. Our role is to widen. To bring a shoulder to lean on, joy, and real support to the whole family.

It’s not just about surviving illness. It’s about helping families move through it together, stronger.

Today, we serve hundreds of families each year through programs, dedicated volunteers, and hands-on help built around everyday needs. We aren't here for one night. We're here for every step of the way. 
That mission led to our Family Center, the physical heart of everything we believe. A place designed for the whole family. Play areas. Learning spaces. Quiet rooms. Ongoing programs. A ballroom for celebrations. Food always available. Kids can come do homework. Parents can drop them off. Or stay and take a breather.

We can't do all this without you.

Every program, every event, every late-night call we answer is possible because someone chose to support it. If that someone is you, thank you, and welcome to the family.
