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.

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 Jewish school children with healthy lunches and delicious treats to take with them to school. Without this support, many children would arrive at school with empty lunchboxes.
Yad's Soup for the Soul
Our Soup Kitchen serves hot soup and warm, nourishing meals every Tuesday and Wednesday to those we support. Each meal is varied, nutritious and prepared with care, ensuring that dignity is always on the menu.
Chickens for Special Occasions
Additional chickens are provided to our recipients for Rosh Chodesh, prior to each Chag, and for special family Simchas, ensuring additional support is given during important religious and personal milestones.
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 towards our food projects, allow us to continue supplying nutritious food parcels to Jewish families in need.
