Yad Ezra V'Shulamit is a Jewish charity organization located in Israel. Founded in 1998, its mission is to feed poor and hungry families in Israel, with a special focus on providing daily hot meals for children. It distributes thousands of food baskets each week to poor Israeli families, provides daily hot lunches for children, runs annual clothing and school supply drives, and operates a job desk for unemployed adults.[1] The motto of the organization is "Breaking the Cycle of Poverty, One Child at a Time".[2]
