Matanot L'evyonim - Gifts for the poor for Purim
Spread Purim Joy -
and Fulfill One of Purim’s Central Mitzvot
Donate Now to Yad Chessed!
For over 30 years Yad Chessed has worked to address the needs of Jews in our community who are struggling with financial and food insecurity. With the support of donors, synagogues, schools and partner organizations, Yad Chessed’s team of social workers provides swift emergency financial assistance, grocery gift cards, and compassionate care, advice, and referrals to those in need.
From now until Purim Day (11am on Friday 2/26), Yad Chessed will be collecting monetary donations and group pledges to fulfill the mitzvah of Matanot L’evyonim. The mitzvah of helping those in need is central to the spirit of Purim and reminds us that we are obligated and honored to extend a hand in times of joy and celebration. In accordance with Jewish law, the funds raised for Matanot L’evyonim will then be distributed on Purim Day itself so our neighbors in need can purchase food for themselves and their families. Last year, our generous community of supporters – raised over $100,000 to help people afford food!
While we may be celebrating Purim differently this year, we know our community will still come together to donate to Yad Chessed and remember those in need.
You can donate using paypal or a credit card online at yadchessed.org/donate.
