Yad Sarah assists over 420,000 people across all services thanks to the help of our generous donors and our 9,000 volunteers. Yad Sarah, the largest volunteer-staffed organization in Israel, provides a vital array of compassionate health and home care services for people of all ages. Today, 40 years after it was founded, Yad Sarah now has 100+ branches throughout Israel staffed by more than 6,000
volunteers. Although the organization is best known for its extensive Lending Service for medical equipment, its 6,000+ volunteers also drive our wheelchair accessible vans, reach out to the homebound, advocate for the elderly at risk for abuse, provide in-home geriatric dental care, and staff our Play Center for children with special needs. Yad Sarah’s annual operating budget is financed almost completely by donations, over 70 percent of which are raised within Israel. No ongoing government assistance is received.
