During the COVID 19 pandemic, when many Shluchim were unable to secure masks for themselves and their communities, the Shluchim Market from the Shluchim office jumped into action.
Upon the request of many Shluchim, Rabbi Avraham Green of the Shlichus Market quickly procured bulk supplies of PPE on their behalf.
“My small town was struggling to provide masks to its first responders,” Rabbi Zalman Gurkow, shliach in Westford, MA, explained. “The Shlichus Market from the Shluchim Office stepped up as a resource capable of outperforming all others by far. To date, we donated and helped facilitate the purchase of nearly 15,000 masks.”
When Rabbi Green announced they had secured a supply of masks for unbeatable prices, Rabbi Gurkow bought thousands to support and service his community. Working directly with Town Management, the masks were distributed to police, fire, town agencies, school teachers, and many other essential town offices.
“I became their primary and preferred source for these face masks,” said Rabbi Gurkow. “So far we helped set them up until September. They are hoping that we will be able to also provide children’s masks for when schools reopen. In short, even now when the shortages are over, the town still can’t find a source who can beat either the price or the turnaround time that the Shlichus Market is delivering.”
“Rabbi Gurkow is just one of many examples of how much a single Shliach can affect his entire community, especially in a time of need,” shared Rabbi Green. “Boruch Hashem, we are grateful we can be a part of assisting Shluchim help their communities, whatever their needs are.”
The Shlichus Market, a project of the Shluchim Office, provides Shluchim with a one-stop shop that covers all their Chabad House needs.
Shluchim can still purchase PPE from the Shlichus Market at Shluchim.org/PPE.

The man is beyond devoted to the Rebbe’s sheluchim day and night! Thank you Rabbi Avrohom Green from the bottom of our hearts!
Rabbi Z. Gurkow is a real gem. A true chosid and shlaich of the Rebbe.
