Audra’s First Serving Session Experience – 2026
Today, I had a wonderful opportunity to volunteer at a Wednesday serving session. For anyone who is unfamiliar with Yad Ezra’s serving sessions, we serve clients Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday. Each client can create their grocery order based on a set list once a month. I talked about the point system a little bit […]

Along with determined staff, dedicated volunteers, and food donations, we would not be able to run without the finances that support us.

How Food Insecurity Connects to Mental Health – 2026
It is commonly known that food insecurity and chronic hunger can have an effect on our physical health, causing various diseases and health concerns. Something that is less talked about is how insecurity can play a huge role in our overall wellbeing and mental health. With mental health awareness continuing to rise over the past […]
