We don’t just distribute handouts
We are determined to break the cycle of poverty and rehabilitate. If someone needs a lifeboat, we send it, but as soon as we can, we get to the root of the issue. Do they need a job? Is there a medical issue? How can we help them get back on their feet? What support can their family and friends provide? What benefits are they eligible to from social services, national insurance or other government agencies? We take your Tzedakah 100% seriously and don’t waste a cent.
Innovative poverty prevention
We believe that money saved is money earned. Neve Yaakov is mostly comprised of hardworking people who make it through the month more or less. Any big expense, even Yom Tov can throw families into debt that is difficult to pay off. That’ why we do our utmost to save everyone money. We offer the entire community cost price disposables, dry goods, as well as arba minim before Sukkos and matzos before Pesach, saving millions of shekels.We also partner with Malbushei Kavod, saving an estimated 5 million shekel a year for about 10,000 people, providing quality kids, women and men’s clothes at cost-price. Other ways we help the community is with a second-hand furniture gemach, rides to hospitals, after-birth support, and free weekly advice sessions by professionals on family finance, bureaucracy, chinuch etc
