Norwood is putting a price on its work as it attempts to generate £100,000 from its Pesach appeal.
In a financial breakdown to supporters, the charity points out that £18 will buy a specialist toy for children with learning disabilities, £75 will fund a day at Unity, Norwood's recreational service for young people with disabilities and £500 will enable a child with learning difficulties to enjoy a residential holiday.
Chief executive Norma Brier said Pesach was a time when Jews were encouraged to "welcome the stranger into their lives.
"Norwood supports thousands of these 'strangers' every year - people with learning disabilities and children and families in need."
The appeal focuses on eight-year-old Baruch, whose learning disability has left him struggling to communicate and he needs help to walk and eat.
Norwood has supported Baruch and his family through its groups for mothers and babies, as well as through Unity and Buckets and Spades Lodge, its short break facility.
