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 fifteen 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.
