My Nonprofit Reviews

I am a volunteer and work behind the scenes. I am very impressed with the work that gets accomplished and the caring, confidential way each patron is approached. There are a number of services offered including weekly opportunities to access a food pantry under their auspices. I am so impressed how this is managed with private appointments, so no one waits in line, or feels stigmatized. The variety of non-perishable food is abundant but what really sets this organization apart, is the fresh, healthy, fruits and vegetables that are provided. The choices go beyond the basics (potatoes, carrots, onions, celery, apples) by always including some items that would not typically be found in the home of those who are food insecure. It changes weekly but I have seen fresh mushrooms, beets, parsnips, asparagus, avocados, nectarines, pears, etc. In addition, there are always eggs and dairy products. Those who run Yad Yehuda emphasize that every family should blend seamlessly in with the community and this is one way they make it happen.
