Donating to a charity for older adults — why it matters and where the money goes

Yamim Tovim2 min read

When you give to a charity for older people, you want to know two things: that the money really reaches those who need it, and that it is handled responsibly. At Yamim Tovim Ashdod we take that trust with the utmost seriousness. Here is where your donation goes.

Where your donation goes

Every shekel given turns into real work on the ground for older people living alone and in need:

  • Food parcels — staples, fresh fruit and vegetables, and before the festivals, items that honour tradition.
  • Medicine and essential supplies — for older people who struggle to reach the pharmacy or to cover the basics.
  • Home visits — regular company that breaks the loneliness and keeps an eye on the wellbeing of those living alone. This is how it works.
  • Social activity — gatherings and events that bring back connection, belonging and joy.

Would you like the full picture? Here is everything we do.

Why every donation counts

It is easy to think a small donation will not change anything. In practice the opposite is true: for an older person living alone, one food parcel or one visit can change a whole week. Many small donations are what let us reach more and more people consistently, over time. And when a donation becomes a monthly standing order, it gives us the thing that matters most — the certainty that we can keep being there for the people who count on us.

Transparency and trust

We believe trust is built on transparency. The charity is duly registered with the Israeli Registrar of Non-Profits (reg. 580837102), works to the required procedures, and publishes annual financial reports. Every donation comes with a receipt, and every donor is welcome to know exactly where their money goes.

Give, and make a difference

Your donation is not only money — it is a visit, a meal, a prescription, and the smile of an older person who had begun to think nobody cared. Give securely. Any questions about how to donate or about receipts? Talk to us and we will gladly help.
