About us

     Support of the poor of one’s own city takes precedence over other types of charity. Yad L`Yad is an Atlanta non-profit grass roots organization established to offer short term assistance to local Jewish individuals and families. The needy Jewish families in Atlanta depend on us to come to their aid. Your donations provide them with food to sustain them. Please think of them when you sit down to eat.

     Our services encompass the following areas:

FAMILIES N CRISES:

• Kosher Food Assistance: The distribution of kosher food and/or food coupons on a biweekly basis.
• Community Resource Directory: Guiding people to the sources that will help them with budgeting, credit counseling, debt consolidation and other self help and professional services
• Emergency Grant Fund: A monetary grant to sustain needy individuals during a financial crisis.

• Atlanta community "gemachim": We are encouraging families throughout Atlanta to engage in acts of kindness by donating to, using and opening exchange shops for various types of goods to be available to the wider Jewish community for free or on loan. (See our web page on “Gemachim”.)

There has been a very positive response to Yad L`Yad as people have become aware of our organization…
