What could be better than giving a charming and unique gift to someone you care about? Doing that while, at the same time, helping Yachad members gain skills that will provide an opportunity for competitive employment.
The Jewish Union Foundation, an affiliate of Yachad, established YachadGifts.com, which offers an exciting assortment of gifts and gift baskets for all occasions.
Stuart Gourdji, Yachad’s vocational technology supervisor says, “Yachad Gifts employs individuals with a diverse array of skills that are applicable to every aspect of the business — designing, purchasing, packaging, shipping, delivery, data entry, sales, and customer service. Our mission is to provide those who work here with the job and social skill sets needed to gain competitive employment in various industries.”
This unique enterprise has gifts for every milestone, holiday, and celebration. From the beautiful candlesticks in a bat mitzvah package, to exotic fruits that please the eye as well as the taste buds. Employee Shira Danan commented on her work experience with a smile. “I enjoy coming to work every day, it makes me happy. I like to make bows and baskets.”
Creative Director Ava Lang Soffer shared, “We are designing innovative and fun baskets and gifts all the time. Our employees look forward to trying their hands, literally and figuratively, at new projects.” There are themed baskets for the gardener, gourmet cook, and sports fan in your life and so much more. Custom gifts and gift certificates are also available.
