WHAT WE DO

Yad Ezra V’Shulamit addresses the needs of impoverished families, regardless of religious affiliation, ethnicity, age, and location of residence. We distribute 10,000 food baskets every week and 50,000 more during Rosh Hashanah and Passover. The children who attend Yad Ezra V’Shulamit Children’s Centers are provided with a nutritious meal, academic tutoring, and an enriching social environment. The children also receive a new winter coat and a new backpack filled with school supplies, boots, sweaters, a heater and a blanket.

In addition, we help hundreds of widows and orphans with food vouchers each week, help feed hundreds of babies with baby formula and provide heavily subsidized weddings for those who can't afford to make their special day become a reality.
