Jewish Souls

Weekly Food Hampers

Core Food Project

Yad Aharon & Michael distributes nutritionally balanced, fresh produce food parcels on a weekly basis, to Jewish families in need of food assistance.  Without these hampers, these families would not have food to put on their tables.

Ohr Natanel

Yad’s School lunchbox project, Ohr Natanel, provides over 200 Jewish school children with healthy lunches and delicious treats to take with them to school.

Yad's Soup for the Soul

Our Soup Kitchen serves hot soups and warm meals every Tuesday and Wednesday to those in need in our community, ensuring that dignity is always on the menu.

Chickens for Special Occasions

Additional chickens are enjoyed by our recipients and distributed every Rosh Chodesh, before each Chaggim and for recipients' special Simchas.

Yom Tov Hampers

For every Chag, we fundraise and distribute generous Yom Tov hampers which overflow with plentiful, varied and traditional foods.

Supporting our Cause

Your donations allow us to supply nutritious food parcels to Jewish families in need. The continuation of our cause is contingent on your generosity and we thank you for your contributions.

As Johannesburg’s leading independent Jewish Food Fund, Yad Aharon & Michael provides food assistance to 750 vulnerable families in our community.  In addition to weekly food parcels, we offer wholesome, varied and nutritious meals in Yad’s Soup for the Soul; we distribute children’s school lunchbox foods through our Ohr Natanel project; and provide bumper Yom Tov hampers for all the Chagim.

Each week we receive deliveries from suppliers, break bulk, stack shelves, check content, pack food boxes, and then hand out or deliver packages to our recipients.  We cannot miss a day, or skip a beat because hunger is an unforgiving taskmaster that can show up as unpredictably as the sun will rise.  But none of what we do would be possible without your donations and generosity.
