Yad Eliezer was founded on the premise that every Jew in Israel is entitled to a life of dignity, self-reliance, and self-respect. Established in 1980 with the single objective of delivering monthly food baskets to hungry families, Yad Eliezer has grown to encompass nineteen economic and social service programs that impact on the lives of over 18,000 families each year. Each component of Yad Eliezer's comprehensive welfare system — which includes nationwide distribution of essential food, clothing, and household items, job training, and child mentoring programs — contributes towards the fulfillment of its mandate to engender economic recovery and social development in Israel.

Going hungry is a part of daily life for countless Israeli families.
Our Food Support program alleviates that hunger for parents and children throughout the country.
You can help.
Help needy families with food purchases in honor of the High Holidays. Together we can bring them a sense of celebration, making it a happier new year.
While we celebrate the holidays, IDF soldiers defend us on the front lines. Some of them live in poverty and cannot afford proper holiday meals. Let’s not forget them. Together we can give them a taste of the holidays!
With impoverished kids stuck at home, leaving parents unable to go to work, the loss of income makes an already difficult situation even worse. No money to buy food or pay the electric bill makes summer unbearable. We can bring relief.
