DEC and Yad Eliezer

Once in a while the students at Derech Etz Chaim need an opportunity to express their chessed outside of the yeshiva walls. Yad Eliezer, one of the most integral charitable organizations in Israel, relies almost completely on volunteers to help make their programs successful, enabling more than 95% of their contributions to go towards helping people.

DEC has been a proud partner of Yad Eliezer for the past few years. The students especially love visiting the warehouse to pack food boxes for needy families.

Every month, Yad Eliezer delivers food boxes to over 6,000 families, assisting 50,000 people. Each box contains the essentials for a hungry family: rice, beans, pasta, sugar, flour, oil, laundry detergent and more.

By supplying food to the home, rather than feeding people in soup kitchens, Yad Eliezer eases the plight of the needy, while maintaining family stability and dignity.
