Bein hazmanim is a difficult time for both orphans and their single parent.
Tov V’chesed preempts the boredom and hardships that can arise during those difficult times when school is closed.

Besides lovingly serving breakfast, lunch, and supper, an entertaining program is arranged so that the children can enjoy themselves in a safe and loving environment.

This relieves a great burden from the widow(er) to prepare Yom Tov with ease, without the children underfoot and without fear of them wandering the streets alone.
