Tsad Kadima (a step forward in Hebrew), is an award winning Israeli non-profit that was established over three decades ago by Israeli parents of children born with cerebral palsy, who took their children’s fate and future into their own hands and embarked on a life changing journey – to help their children reach their full potential and independence and integrate into the community at large.
Today, Tsad Kadima operates several rehabilitative frameworks, various complementary programs and services, throughout Israel, for infants, children and adults with severe physical disabilities and their families.
Their overriding goal is to enable children and adults with severe physical disabilities to become actively involved, reach a level of functional independence, integrate into the community and participate in normative life frameworks.
Yad Leah is a volunteer based organization whose staff and supporters share a collective dream of alleviating poverty in over 30 communities throughout Israel. By collecting new and gently used clothing in the United States, Yad Leah provides upwards of $4 million dollars worth of new and lightly used clothing, bringing warmth and joy to thousands of people. Yad Leah sorts, packs and ships the clothing that it collects to Israel, where it is sold to Israel’s neediest at a fraction of its true value in a store-like environment. By providing families with an opportunity to shop for affordable clothing, Yad Leah treats its customers with the dignity that is due all human beings.

Yashar LaChayal has been helping soldiers since 2006. Yashar LaChayal builds and maintains Warm Corner rest stations for soldiers on patrol, responds quickly to cases of injured soldiers and offers them assistance, and aids bereaved families in many ways. In addition, we supply work closely with needy soldiers, maintaining Needy Soldiers Supply Closets filled with toiletries, blankets, socks and other necessities, and distributing food baskets to needy soldiers and their families for the holidays. Yashar LaChayal also works closely with Lone Soldiers, ensuring that they have the goods they need and a support system during and after their service. Additional projects are described in detail on our website: www.yasharlachayal.org.
Every donation goes directly to the soldiers. We are grateful recipients of a grant that funds all our operating expenses, so all other money is used to make purchases for the soldiers.
You can show your support for the IDF combat soldiers by adopting a unit, or by raising money to provide soldiers with specific goods.
