Chesed Society

The Chesed Society of CSI was funded in 1999 by seed money from congregants Gertrude and Edward Krick, and has continued to be funded for the past 20 years by donations from the Krick family, and members of our CSI congregation. The purpose of the Krick Chesed Society is to provide support, comfort, consolation or congratulations, for a variety of circumstances and experiences by congregational members and their families.
