Yad Tamar, established in 2009, has become a national anchor for families in crisis - providing holistic, long-term assistance that prevents emotional and functional collapse.

We operate across Israel through two integrated systems:

The Family HUG: A holistic support model for families coping with cancer – combining emotional guidance, practical assistance, and a safety network that prevents family collapse and restores stability.

The Community HUG: A community-based resilience model that mobilizes local volunteers, welfare teams, and neighbors to create sustainable circles of care around families in crisis.

Our model combines professional guidance with community strength and smart technology:

• Training local case managers and family accompanists.
• Using the TAMAR platform to map needs, coordinate volunteers, and track support in real time.
• Partnering with municipalities and welfare teams to ensure no family is left alone.

Yad Tamar won the President's Citation of Excellence, the Minister of Health's Shield for Volunteering, and the Midot Seal - the mark that proves Yad Tamar meets the highest standard of effectiveness.

Your support enables us to keep families from collapsing and to rebuild resilience across Israel’s communities.
