The charity events initiated by the Community president and the Board of Trustees can be distuinguished by their scale and are organized several times a year. In 2005 in Dnipropetrovsk two large charity events were held to distribute food packs to pensioners and disabled people of the city. The events were confined to the holidays of Purim and Rosh Hashanah. Twice in three weeks some five thousand people used to come to the Central Synagogue where they were handed a set of grocery products that a pensioner can rarely afford: raisins, cocoa, big leaf tea, lemon, canned saury and sprat, vegetable oil and much more - more than 10 kilograms. For Rosh Hashanah honey was added to the kit.

For the first time in the history of the revival of Jewish Communities of the CIS each veteran, combatant or disabled person in the World War II received a valuable gift on the 60th anniversary of the victory. All Jew veterans received refrigerators, televisions, stoves, washing machines, VCRs and other expensive appliances from the community for the holiday. Veterans in the Beit-Baruch Home for the elderly people of the Jewish community of Dnepropetrovsk were presented with a comfortable minibus.

The Board of Trustees of the Dnepropetrovsk Jewish Community decided to give gifts not only to residents of Dnipropetrovsk but also Jew veterans living in the cities of the region. In the weeks leading up to May 9 all the veterans were able to select what they want to get as a gift for the holiday. Victory Day celebration was held in the Golden Rose Choral Synagogue during which the veterans were presented with personal certificates and within a week appliances were delivered to them at home and installed.

Jewish war veterans came with their children and grandchildren to the Victory Day in Golden Rose Choral Synagogue. They were met by tunes of the war years on the porch of the synagogue. A minute of silence in memory of those killed during the Second World War was taken. Tales of combat veterans have left no indifferent in the great hall of the synagogue - the people wept remembering those hard times in the history of our nation. The Victory Day song was sang by the Beit Baruch choir of Veterans as the anthem of peace and justice. And then the ceremony of honoring the veterans began in which members of the Board of Trustees of the Jewish community awarded the veterans with personal certificates for the selected equipment.
