Every Friday night, as Shabbos begins, thousands of women participate in the ACS Shabbos Program through a simple yet meaningful act. At candle lighting, participants donate £1, joining a collective effort that provides ongoing support to families navigating cancer.

The strength of the program lies in its consistency. Week after week, small individual contributions come together to sustain Shabbos services designed to bring comfort and practical assistance to those who need it most.

For families facing illness, preparing for Shabbos can present additional emotional and logistical challenges. The program helps ensure that support is available during this important time of rest and connection, allowing families to experience Shabbos with greater calm and dignity.

The shared moment of candle lighting creates a powerful sense of unity. Across many homes and communities, individuals participate simultaneously in an act of kindness that extends far beyond their own tables.

Through steady participation, the Shabbos Program continues to transform small actions into meaningful support, spreading light and hope each week.
