Gemachs
Gemach comes from an abbreviation of Gemilut Chasadim, acts of kindness. Gemachs in the Silver Spring area loan a wide variety of items to people who need them.
The Gemach Exchange: A Project of Yad Yehuda
This list is curated by Yad Yehuda of Greater Washington and the gemachim listed on this page function under the umbrella of Yad Yehuda. The gemachim themselves are run and maintained by dedicated individuals throughout the community.
YISE provides this link as a service to YISE members and the Silver Spring community but does not fund or directly support any of these Gemachs. Donations to a Gemach on this list may or may not be tax-deductible – check with the Gemach before donating if this is a concern.
